FIRST MEDICAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial  information for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 is
unaudited.  The balance  sheet as of December 31, 1997 and the income  statement
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 has been  reclassified  to reflect the
managed care and HallMark Electrical Supplies Corp.  ("HallMark")  operations as
discontinued  operations.  However,  the  information  reflects all  adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for the fair statement of results for the interim periods.

Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been condensed or omitted.  These consolidated  financial statements should
be read in conjunction  with the consolidated  financial  statements and related
notes included in First Medical Group,  Inc.'s ("the Company") December 31, 1997
Report on Form-10K.

The results of  operations  for the three month  period ended March 31, 1998 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Earnings  (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by
weighted average number of common shares and share equivalents outstanding.  For
the periods  presented,  there were no common stock equivalents  included in the
calculation, since they would be anti-dilutive.

2.      DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On April  14 and 15,  1998 the  Company  through  certain  of its  wholly  owned
subsidiaries  completed  the sale of its Florida  managed care  operations.  The
total  sales price was  approximately  $6.75  million for certain  assets of the
Company.  The Company is also  divesting  its Texas and  Mid-West  managed  care
operation.  As a result of these  transactions,  the Company has  reflected  its
managed care  operation  as  discontinued  operations  for  financial  statement
purposes.

On April 17, 1998, the Company sold HallMark which was a wholly owned subsidiary
of the  Company to a certain  member of  management  of the  Company and certain
members of management  of HallMark for a total sales price of $1.9 million.  The
purchase  price of $1.9 million  represented  a cash payment of $750,000 and the
assumption of $1.15 million of liabilities  and a covenant not to compete by the
member of the management of the Company.
