PART 1

Item 1.           Business
- -------           --------

                  The primary business of the Company is the operation and
                  ownership of Mad River Community Hospital (the Hospital) and
                  satellite clinics, located in the Humboldt County area of
                  Northern California.

                  Over the last several years the Company has expanded the scope
                  of services offered by the Hospital to include advanced
                  ancillary service departments used by physicians practicing in
                  the rural service area. As a result of the ongoing expansion
                  of facilities and services, the Hospital continues to recruit
                  new physicians to provide the added care as well as to replace
                  physicians who are retiring from active practice. The
                  Hospital's service area on the north coast is experiencing the
                  highest rate of growth in the county and is especially
                  attractive to physicians who want to live and work in a
                  community with high family values.

                  The nearest competition to the Hospital is in Eureka
                  (approximately 12 miles south) where two acute care facilities
                  are located. Management of the Hospital feels that as long as
                  it maintains a strong position in providing a full scope of
                  health care services, the facilities located in Eureka will
                  have less of a negative impact on Hospital use or occupancy.
                  For this reason, the Hospital organized out-patient clinics in
                  the outlying communities thereby maintaining the Hospital's
                  presence in the service area. New buildings are planned for
                  those departments still housed in mobile facilities adjacent
                  to the Hospital. In addition, a cath-lab was opened in the
                  spring of 1998 and a M.R.I.
                  is currently under construction.

                  Another positive factor supporting Hospital use is community
                  involvement. As the largest private employer in Arcata, the
                  Hospital provides employment to approximately 520 local
                  residents and, through its Home Health and Adult Day Health
                  Care departments, is highly visible in the community served.
                  The Hospital continues to try to build on this strength by
                  maintaining a strong image through the media and a helping
                  hand in the community, while providing personalized quality
                  services. The Hospital is a strong advocate for a community
                  health care plan involving the medical staff, employers and
                  the area's hospitals and health care providers wherein they
                  will work together to provide a locally based alternative to
                  out of the area managed care.

                  As the health care industry is dependent on government payment
                  of care for the elderly and indigent, the Hospital may be
                  negatively impacted by new Government regulations. As
                  mentioned above, the Hospital is working diligently to
                  establish a community health care plan that could compete with
                  the various outside managed care plans planning to enter the
                  Humboldt County area.

Item 2.           Properties
- -------           ----------

                  The main facility operated by the Company is Mad River
                  Community Hospital in Arcata, California. This single-level
                  structure is licensed as a 78-bed acute hospital in Northern
                  Humboldt County, California, where it provides full hospital
                  services to a population of approximately 55,000. Since
                  opening in 1972, the Hospital has maintained a program of
                  expansion and improvements. It is located on 12 acres (part of
                  a 48 acre site) adjacent to an expanded medical office complex
                  owned by staff doctors which leaves sufficient open area for
                  further expansion of medical services as needed.

                  The Company owns 27 acres of land approximately 4 miles from
                  the Hospital held for future residential development. A house
                  and barn on the property is currently used as an office, guest
                  quarters and storage space for the Company. The Company owns a
                  personal residence adjacent to the Hospital that had been used
                  as a physician's office. This acquisition was made to
                  facilitate a continued favorable occupancy by a
                  hospital-related specialty and is presently being leased to an
                  unrelated private resident, providing a child day care service
                  to hospital employees. The Company also owns residences and
                  commercial properties in Eureka and McKinleyville, California.
                  From time to time, the Company acquires real estate being held
                  for investment purposes.

                  As part of its outreach program, the Company owns and operates
                  medical office buildings under the name of Willow Creek Six
                  Rivers Medical Center in Willow Creek, California (38 miles
                  east of the Hospital). The Company also owns and operates real
                  property in McKinleyville which provides laboratory and
                  radiology outpatient services. It also operates an after-hours
                  clinic at this location.

                  Adult Day Health Care of Mad River , a separate not-for-profit
                  organization, is operating an adult day health care facility
                  in a building adjacent to and owned by Mad River Community
                  Hospital. Michael Young, Controller of the Company, is
                  functioning as Adult Day Health Care's Administrator and
                  performs minimal accounting services for the organization. To
                  meet the growing demands for this service, the existing
                  building will be expanded. This entity will continue to lease
                  the facility from the Hospital.

Item 7            Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
- ------            ---------------------------------------------

                                      1998
                                      ----

                  Results of Operations
                  ---------------------

                  Hospital revenues increased slightly during 1998 as the
                  Hospital continues to expand services to encourage use. Use of
                  outpatient services increased, and there was a small rate
                  increase. Patient revenue totaled $44,682,000 in 1998 compared
                  to $41,030,000 in 1997, a 8.9% increase of $3,652,000.

                  Contractual allowances totaled $21,690,000 in 1998 compared to
                  $18,934,000 in 1997, a 14.6% increase. Government regulatory
                  agencies attempt to reimburse the Hospital based on cost of
                  services. But, as the government continues its efforts to cut
                  back on rising health care payments, the actual reimbursement
                  to the Hospital continues to decrease as evidenced by the
                  large increase in contractual allowances. For the five years
                  ended June 30, 1998, contractual allowances and provisions for
                  bad debts have amounted to approximately $111,000,000 or 48%
                  of gross revenue. At times the Hospital is unable to even
                  recoup costs on Medicare patients under the current
                  methodology of reimbursement. Medi-Cal has also imposed
                  certain limitations that negatively impacted the amount the
                  Hospital is reimbursed for MediCal patients.

                  Operating costs and expenses were $23,984,000 compared to
                  $23,358,000 in 1997, a 2.7% increase. Operating costs actually
                  increased $219,000 while the provision for bad debts also
                  increased by $407,000, resulting in the combined increase of
                  $626,000. The increase in accounts written off is indicative
                  of the industry wide difference between standard rates and the
                  amount actually collected.

                  The continued reduction in third-party reimbursement is a
                  major contributing factor to the 1998 operating loss of
                  $594,000. During the current operating year, the Hospital
                  charged to operations approximately $967,000 of cost as a
                  result of the audit finalization of prior years' cost reports.
                  Management intends to appeal various adjustments made by the
                  intermediary, but no amount as been booked as a receivable for
                  ultimate outcome of the appeal. Net income, after investment
                  income was $351,000 in 1998 compared to $224,000 in 1997.

                  Over the years, as the Company incurs more contractual
                  allowances and uncollectible accounts, results from operations
                  have suffered. The Company continues to enjoy good returns on
                  its investments to help maintain a net profit. For the current
                  year, sales of investments resulted in gains of $517,000,
                  while total investment income was $1,049,000. As discussed in
                  Item 1, the Company continues to expand operations to maintain
                  a competitive edge in a continuing ever changing health care
                  environment. All construction projects, considered necessary
                  to maintain operations, will be completed without negative
                  impact on the financial statements.

                                 ----

                  The purpose of these projects is to keep the users of the
                  Hospital in their primary service area when health care is
                  required, thereby enhancing the Hospital's inpatient service
                  occupancy. By so doing, it is anticipated that operations will
                  improve, even though the continued burden of government
                  contractual agreements to provide health care, sometimes below
                  cost, is being further complicated by the introduction of
                  managed care contracts in the Humboldt County area.



                  Liquidity and Capital Resources
                  -------------------------------

                  The Company's financial condition remains very strong with
                  substantial investments, strong liquidity and minimal debt.
                  The cash and liquid investments are being maintained to
                  subsidize Hospital operations, finance needed construction and
                  increased services at Mad River Community Hospital. Currently,
                  the Company has approximately $7,251,000 in cash and
                  short-term investments. Included in this amount are $2,055,000
                  in unrealized holding gains. Subsequent to year end, the
                  market had an approximately 15% decrease in market value which
                  will affect the fair value of equity securities held by the
                  Company As previously noted, some of these investments, as
                  determined by management, will be used to fund needed
                  expansion.

                  Cash provided by operating and investing activities continue
                  to fund investing activities, the largest of which is the
                  purchase of real estate, property and equipment, which totaled
                  $1,258,000 in 1998. As the long-term debt relates only to the
                  acquisition of major equipment, cash required for financing
                  activities remains relatively low.

                  As discussed in Item I, government regulations, as well as
                  managed care contract agreements, may continue to negatively
                  impact operations. Management is unable to estimate any
                  potential negative impact of forthcoming laws or regulations.
                  Management believes that long-term key employees approve of
                  the working conditions at the Hospital and have proven their
                  ability to keep the Hospital staffed under difficult
                  conditions.

                  Inflation
                  ---------

                  The inflation rate affecting costs has remained relatively
                  low, approximately 5%, over the last three years. This
                  moderate rate contributes to the Hospital's success in
                  maintaining a moderate increase in costs from year to year.

                  Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations
                  ---------------------------------------------

                                      1997
                                      ----

                  Results of Operations
                  ---------------------

                  Hospital revenues increased slightly during 1997 as the
                  Hospital continues to expand services to encourage use. Use of
                  outpatient services increased, and there was a small rate
                  increase. Patient revenue totaled $41,030,000 in 1997 compared
                  to $40,617,000 in 1996, a 1% increase of $413,000.

                  Contractual allowances totaled $15,147,000 in 1997 compared to
                  $13,808,000 in 1996, a 10% increase. Government regulatory
                  agencies attempt to reimburse the Hospital based on cost of
                  services. But, as the government continues its efforts to cut
                  back on rising health care payments, the actual reimbursement
                  to the Hospital continues to decrease as evidenced by the
                  large increase in contractual allowances. At times the
                  Hospital is unable to even recoup costs on Medicare patients
                  under the current methodology of reimbursement. Medi-Cal has
                  also imposed certain limitations that negatively impacted the
                  amount the Hospital is reimbursed for MediCal patients.

                  Operating costs and expenses were $27,145,000 compared to
                  $27,928,000 in 1996, a 3% decrease. Operating costs actually
                  increased $524,000 while the provision for bad debts decreased
                  by $1,309,000, resulting in the combined decrease of 3%. The
                  Hospital has concentrated efforts in the collection of
                  receivables resulting in less accounts being written off.

                  The continued reduction in third-party reimbursement is a
                  major contributing factor to the 1997 operating loss of
                  $805,000. Net income, after investment income was $201,000 in
                  1997 compared to $224,000 in 1996.

                  Over the years, as the Company incurs more contractual
                  allowances and uncollectible accounts, results from operations
                  have suffered. The Company continues to enjoy good returns on
                  its investments to help maintain a net profit. For the current
                  year, sales of investments resulted in gains of $125,000,
                  while total investment income was $990,000. As discussed in
                  Item 1, the Company continues to expand operations to maintain
                  a competitive edge in a continuing ever changing health care
                  environment. All construction projects, considered necessary
                  to maintain operations, will be completed without negative
                  impact on the financial statements.

                  The purpose of these projects is to keep the users of the
                  Hospital in their primary service area when health care is
                  required, thereby enhancing the Hospital's inpatient service
                  occupancy. By so doing, it is anticipated that operations will
                  improve, even though the continued burden of government
                  contractual agreements to provide health care, sometimes below
                  cost, is being further complicated by the introduction of
                  managed care contracts in the Humboldt County area.

                          Independent Auditors' Report
                          ----------------------------

         The Board of Directors and Stockholders:
         American Hospital Management Corporation


         We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of American Hospital
         Management Corporation as of June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related
         statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows and the
         supporting financial statement schedules as listed in the accompanying
         index at Item 14, for the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996.
         These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the
         responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
         express an opinion on these financial statements and financial
         statement schedules based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
         standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits
         to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
         and financial statement schedules are free of material misstatement. An
         audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
         amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
         includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
         estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
         financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
         reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
         fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American
         Hospital Management Corporation at June 30, 1998 and 1997, and the
         results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended June
         30, 1998, 1997 and 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
         accounting principles, and the supporting financial statement schedules
         as listed in the accompanying index at Item 14, when considered in
         relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, in our
         opinion, present fairly in all material respects, the information set
         forth therein.

                    AMERICAN HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION
                          Notes to Financial Statements
                          June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996

(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
         ------------------------------------------

         Organization
         ------------
         The Corporation owns and operates one acute-care hospital, located in
         Arcata, California. The Hospital provides inpatient, outpatient and
         emergency care services for residents of Humboldt County. It also
         operates other health-care related enterprises in the same location.
         Admitting physicians are primarily practitioners in the local area. The
         Company was incorporated as a C-Corporation in California in 1955.

         Use of Estimates
         ----------------
         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
         the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
         revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
         differ from those estimates

         Cash and Cash Equivalents
         -------------------------
         Cash and cash equivalents represent cash in checking and demand savings
         accounts. Cash is held in several banks with no significant
         concentration of risk.

         Investments
         -----------
         Investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair
         values and all investments in debt securities are measured at fair
         value in the balance sheets. All investments are held for sale
         Investment income or loss (including realized gains and losses on
         investments, interest and dividends) is included in net income.
         Unrealized gains and losses on investments are excluded from net income
         but are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

         Property and Equipment
         ----------------------
         Property and equipment acquisitions are recorded at cost. Depreciation
         is provided over the estimated useful life of each class of depreciable
         asset and is computed on the straight-line method. Equipment under
         capital leases is amortized on the straight-line method over the
         shorter period of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the
         equipment. Such amortization is included in depreciation and
         amortization in the financial statements.

         Statements of Income
         --------------------
         Transactions deemed by management to be ongoing, major or central to
         the provision of health care services are reported as revenues and
         expenses. Peripheral or incidental transactions are reported as other
         income, net.

                                      -20-

                    Notes to Financial Statements, continued

         Net Patient Service Revenue
         ---------------------------
         The Hospital has agreements with third-party payors that provide for
         payments to the Hospital at amounts different from its established
         rates. Payment arrangements include prospectively determined rates per
         discharge, reimbursed costs, discounted charges and per diem payments.
         Net patient service revenue is reported at the estimated net realizable
         amounts from patients, third-party payors, and others for services
         rendered, including estimated retroactive adjustments under
         reimbursement, agreements with third-party payors. Retroactive
         adjustments are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the related
         services are rendered and adjusted in future periods as final
         settlements are determined.

         Income Taxes
         ------------
         Deferred income taxes are provided for the estimated income tax effect
         of temporary differences between financial and taxable income.

         Investments in Partnership
         Investment in a partnership is carried at the Company's equity in the
         partnership's net assets. The partnership was organized in 1968 to
         provide property sites for the hospital and medical centers. The two
         general partners, the Company and its president, own 26% each. The
         limited partners, consisting of local doctors, own the remaining 48%.

         Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
         -------------------------------
         The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
         121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived
         Assets to be Disposed Of." Historically, the Company has complied with
         the requirements of SFAS No. 121. This statement requires that
         long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and
         used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes
         in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
         be recoverable. Also, in general, long-lived assets and certain
         identifiable intangibles to be disposed of should be reported at the
         lower of carrying amount or fair market value less cost to sell.

         Reclassifications
         -----------------
         Certain accounts from prior years financial statements have been
         reclassified to be comparable with disclosure for the current year.

(2)      Net Patient Service Revenue
         ---------------------------

         The Hospital has agreements with third-party payors that provide for
         payments to the Hospital at amounts different from its established
         rates. A summary of the payment arrangements with major third-party
         payors follows:
              *   Medicare. Inpatient acute care services rendered to Medicare
                  program beneficiaries are paid at prospectively determined
                  rates per discharge. These rates vary according to a patient
                  classification system that is based on clinical, diagnostic,
                  and other factors. Inpatient nonacute services, certain
                  outpatient services, and defined capital and medical education
                  costs related to Medicare beneficiaries are paid based on a
                  cost reimbursement methodology. The Hospital is reimbursed for
                  cost reimbursable items at a tentative rate with final
                  settlement determined after submission of annual cost reports
                  by the Hospital and audits thereof by the Medicare fiscal
                  intermediary. The Hospital's classification of patients under
                  the Medicare program and the appropriateness of their
                  admission are subject to an independent review by a peer
                  review organization under contract with the Hospital. The
                  Hospital's Medicare cost reports have been audited by the
                  Medicare fiscal intermediary through June 30, 1997.
              *   Medicaid. Inpatient and outpatient services rendered to
                  Medicaid program beneficiaries are reimbursed under a cost
                  reimbursement methodology. The Hospital is reimbursed at a
                  tentative rate with final settlement determined after
                  submission of annual cost reports by the Hospital and audits
                  thereof by the Medicaid fiscal intermediary. The Hospital
                  records supplies cost acquired and used by the operating room
                  department as operating cost of that department. The
                  intermediary disagreed with the classification of cost in the
                  operating department and reclassified the revenue relating to
                  the cost to Central Supply. Therefore, the Hospital has
                  included cost in 1998 of approximately $967,000 relating to
                  audit adjustments made by the intermediary for prior years'
                  cost reports. Management of the Hospital feels this
                  reclassification was made in error and intends to appeal the
                  decision made by the intermediary. Until a final decision is
                  reached, the Hospital will not include the effect of including
                  the supplies cost in the operating department as part of the
                  revenues of the Hospital. The Hospital's Medicaid cost reports
                  have been audited by the Medicaid fiscal intermediary through
                  June 30, 1996.

         The Hospital has also entered into payment agreements with certain
         commercial insurance carriers, health maintenance organizations and
         preferred provider organizations. The basis for payment to the Hospital
         under these agreements includes prospectively determined rates per
         discharge, discounts from established charges and prospectively
         determined daily rates.

</TABLE>

         At June 30, 1998 and 1997, accounts receivable are primarily
         concentrated in federal and state governmental entities and other
         patients in which the Company does not believe there is any undue
         credit risk. For the three years ended June 30, 1998, contractual
         allowances and provisions for bad debts has totaled $62,062,182,
         approximately 48% of gross revenue.

(3)      Marketable Securities
         ---------------------

         Cost and fair value of marketable equity securities at June 30, 1998
         and 1997, are as follows:
                                                         1998           1997

                           Available for sale:
                               Cost                  $3,625,311      $3,507,397

         Gain or loss from sale of securities is based on specific
         identification of the securities sold. Net unrealized holding gains on
         securities available for sale, net of the tax effect of $1,360,608 and
         $970,362 for the years ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, are shown as a
         separate component of stockholders' equity. For the years ended June

         $578,111 and $(60,741), $327,314 and $(202,775), and $170,507 and

         The Company intends to implement the provision of FASB No. 130,
         Reporting Comprehensive Income, beginning with the fiscal year ending
         June 30, 1999. The Statement establishes standards for reporting and
         display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
         general purpose financial statements. Currently, net unrealized holding
         gains is the only income that would be disclosed as part of
         comprehensive income. For the year ended June 30, 1998, the change in
         net unrealized holding gains on securities available for sale,
         representing comprehensive income, is $989,756, net of $390,246 in
         deferred tax.

         In addition, deferred tax liability is recorded in the balance sheet,
         resulting from the change in unrealized holdings for investments. The
         increase in deferred income taxes for the years ended June 30, 1998 and
         1997 was $390,246 and $235,471, respectively.

(8)      Income Taxes continued
         ----------------------

         Recorded income tax expense differs from that computed by applying the
         statutory income tax rates for the following reasons:

(9)   Preferred Stock
      ---------------

         The preferred stock provides for cumulative dividends of $2 per share
         per year. The stock has a redemption and liquidating value of $27.50
         per share, plus dividends in arrears. Total redemption and liquidating
         value of the outstanding shares at June 30, 1998 and 1997, was
         $1,311,471 and $1,329,172, respectively. In the event of redemption,
         two shares of common stock can be issued for each share of preferred
         stock redeemed (if option is exercised by preferred stockholder).
         Redemption of the preferred stock, in total only, is at the option of
         the Company.

(10)     Income per Common Share
- ----     -----------------------

         Income per common share, assuming no dilution, was computed by dividing
         the net income after deduction of preferred stock dividend requirements
         of $95,380, $96,667 and $101,699, by the weighted average number of
         common shares outstanding (227,332, 230,635 and 234,846) for 1998, 1997
         and 1996, respectively.

         Income per common share, assuming full dilution, was computed by
         dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares
         outstanding, after redemption of preferred stock, (321,537, 324,724,
         334,912) for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(11)     Malpractice Insurance Arrangements
         ----------------------------------

         The Hospital purchases professional and general liability insurance to
         cover medical malpractice insurance claims. The coverage, through a
         commercial insurance carrier, is on a claims-made basis. Under
         claims-made policies, all accidents reported to the insurer are
         covered. On the basis of the Hospital's current experience, neither an
         accrual for a potential extended period reporting policy, which could
         be necessary if the Hospital ceases to purchase claims-made coverage,
         nor an accrual for unreported incidents has been made.

(12)     401(k) Plan
         -----------

         The Plan is a defined contribution plan to which all employees are
         permitted to make salary deferrals under the 401(k) provision. Such
         contributions are credited directly to their accounts. Based on the
         Plan document, the Employer can make discretionary contributions for
         the participants. No contribution was made for any of the three years
         ended June 30, 1998.

(13)     Concentrations of Credit Risk
         -----------------------------

         The Hospital grants credit without collateral to its patients, most of
         whom are local residents and are insured under third-party payor
         agreements. The mix of receivables from patients and third-party payors
         at June 30, 1998 and 1997, was as follows:

                                                     1998                 1997
                                                     ----                 ----
                  Medicare                           37.5%                33.7%
                  Medi-Cal                           16.2                 19.7

(14)     Self-insurance Program
         ----------------------

         The Hospital has elected to self-insure for health care benefits to its
         employees. Amounts charged to expense and transferred monthly to a
         trust fund to cover such claims are estimated using rates comparable to
         actual rates in the industry. Management believes that amounts provided
         are sufficient to cover claims and costs incurred through June 30,
         1998. The rates used to determine the amounts charged to expense for
         claims and costs are adjusted periodically, as appropriate, to reflect
         actual experience. The Hospital has 100 percent insurance coverage for
         individual claim expenses in excess of $50,000 and for aggregate claim
         expenses in excess of $1,365,218.

         Health care benefit expense was approximately $1,210,164, $1,459,831
         and $1,318,370 for the years ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
         respectively.

(15)     Commitments and Contingencies
         -----------------------------

         Commitments.

         At June 30, 1998, the Company had an outstanding letter of credit for
         approximately $326,000 to acquire a new MRI machine. The letter of
         credit is secured by restricted cash.

         The Company had one operating lease with monthly payments of $2,450
         with a remaining term of 23 months. Total rental expense for the years
         ended June 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was $242,124, $227,486 and $201,118,
         respectively

         Litigation. The Hospital is involved in litigation and regulatory
         investigations arising in the course of business. After consultation
         with legal counsel and insurance carriers, management estimates that
         these matters will be resolved without material adverse effect on the
         Hospital's future financial position or results from operations.

(16)     Risks and Uncertainties
         -----------------------

         The Company's future operating results may be affected by a number of
         factors. The Hospital's operations are in part dependent on
         governmental reimbursement plans. Significant changes in the level of
         governmental reimbursement could have a favorable or unfavorable impact
         on the operating results of the Hospital. Also, as additional managed
         health-care plans are introduced into the service area, actual
         admissions to the Hospital could increase or decrease depending on the
         Hospital's ability to contract with the health plans.

(17)     Fair values of Financial Instruments
         ------------------------------------

         Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time and are based
         on relevant market information and information about the financial
         instrument; they are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties,
         matters of judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with
         precision. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that
         could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire
         holdings of a particular instrument. Changes in assumptions could
         significantly affect the estimates.

         Since the fair value is estimated as of June 30, 1998, the amounts that
         will actually be realized or paid at settlement of the instruments
         could be significantly different.

         The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is assumed to be the
         fair value because of the liquidity of these instruments. Accounts
         receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair
         value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The recorded
         balance of notes payable are assumed to be the fair value since the
         rates specified in the notes approximate current market rates.
