NOTE TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The financial information for the three month periods ended March 31,
1995 and 1994 included herein is unaudited. Such information includes
all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal and recurring
nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position and the
results of its operations and cash flows. Additionally, such
information should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included
on pages 8 through 10 and the Consolidated Financial Statements and
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference to
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1994.

<PAGE> 8
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
General
Substantially all of the Company's revenue is generated from premiums
received for health care coverage provided to its members. These premiums
represent approximately 96% and 97% of the Company's total revenue for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company's
operating expenses are primarily medical costs consisting principally of
medical claims and capitation costs.
The Company's results of operations depend in large part on accurately
predicting and effectively managing medical costs and other operating expenses.
A number of factors, including competition, changes in health care practices,
changes in federal or state laws and regulations or the interpretations
thereof, inflation, provider contract changes, new technologies, government
imposed surcharges, taxes or assessments, reductions in provider payments
by governmental payors (such reductions may cause providers to seek higher
payments from private payors), major epidemics, disasters and numerous other
factors affecting the delivery and cost of health care, may in the future
affect the Company's ability to control its medical costs and other operating
expenses. Governmental action (including downward adjustments to the premium
rates requested by the Company, which adjusted rates could be lower than
premium rates then in effect) or business conditions (including competition and
the other factors described above) could result in premium revenues not
increasing to offset increases in medical costs and other operating expenses.
Once set, premiums are generally fixed for one year periods and, accordingly,
unanticipated costs during such periods cannot be recovered through higher
premiums.
Legislative and regulatory proposals have been made at the federal and
state government levels related to the health care system generally and the
Medicare and Medicaid programs specifically. The Company is unable to predict
the content of any legislation or regulation that may be enacted, when any such
legislation or regulation will be adopted, or what effect such legislation or
regulation will have on the Company's business.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994
Operations
Premiums increased $104,973,000, or 15% compared to the first quarter of 1994.
Principal factors for the increase are a 13% growth in U.S. Healthcare-insured
health plan membership (217,000 members since March 31, 1994) and higher
weighted average premiums. Weighted average premiums increased 2% to $147 per
member per month, principally due to an increase in the proportion of total
membership in Medicare plans, which plans have higher premiums per member than
the Company's other HMO plans. The average premium for U.S. Healthcare-insured
non-Medicare HMO plans, which at March 31, 1995 had about 1,773,000 members,
was approximately $138 per member per month in the first quarters of 1994 and
1995. Compared to the first quarter of 1994, the average premium for the
Medicare plans, which at March 31, 1995 had about 52,000 members, decreased 3%
to approximately $443 per member per month. On March 31, 1995, the Company
also had about 7,000 members in U.S. Healthcare-insured indemnity plans.
The following tables show premiums earned during the quarter and the increase
in premiums compared to the first quarter of 1994 by plan type and region
(amounts in thousands):

</TABLE>
Investment income increased $7,302,000, or 58% over the first quarter of 1994,
due to lower losses on sales of marketable securities, the effect of higher
investment portfolio balances and an increase in the average yield on
investments.
Other revenue (principally administrative services fees) increased $5,609,000,
or 75% over the first quarter of 1994, prinicipally due to a 55% increase in
membership in employer-funded health plans. On March 31, 1995, the Company
had about 365,000 members in employer-funded health plans.

<PAGE> 10
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994
Medical costs increased $93,297,000, or 19% over the first quarter of 1994,
primarily due to a 13% growth in U.S. Healthcare-insured health plan
membership, plus higher costs per member. Compared to the first quarter of
1994, the weighted average medical cost per member increased about 5% to $107
per member per month. Factors for the per member increase include higher
specialist usage and rates, changes in product mix, higher capitation rates
and the enhancement of the Medicare program to include a pharmacy benefit for
most Medicare members.
Administrative, marketing and other operating costs increased $19,734,000, or
26% over the first quarter of 1994. Personnel costs contributed the largest
increase as a result of higher salaries, an increase in the number of
employees necessitated, in part, by higher business volume and changes in
product mix and increased marketing capability.
Liquidity and capital resources
The Company's liquidity requirements have been met from cash flows generated by
operating activities. In the first quarter of 1995, net cash flows from
such activities were $145,287,000. The Company believes that its existing
financial resources are sufficient to meet its liquidity needs.
The Company is subject to federal and state regulations which require the
Company's subsidiaries to maintain certain levels of tangible net assets, as
defined, for use in their own operations. Some states also require prior
approval before funds are transferred to affiliates.

<PAGE> 11
Part II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On October 12, 1993, the Company filed a petition with the New York State
Supreme Court seeking to stay and annul the Opinion and Decision of
Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York dated September 30, 1993,
which would have reduced the premium rates for the Company's New York HMO for
the twelve month period beginning October 1, 1993 by a weighted average of 3.9%
from the rates in effect for the preceding twelve month period. On November 1,
1993, the Court held a hearing and ordered that a stay should be granted.
Accordingly, for New York HMO group contracts renewed or entered into during
the first quarter of 1994, the Company generally charged the premium rates in
effect during the third quarter of 1993. The Court entered a written Order and
Decision on July 8, 1994, implementing the November 1, 1993 oral decision on
the basis that the Superintendent violated the New York Insurance Law (by
reducing the Company's premium rates without giving the Company an opportunity
to oppose the reduction) and remanding the matter to the Superintendent for a
proper hearing. On August 4, 1994, the Superintendent filed a Notice of Appeal
with the Appellate Division; the appeal was dismissed on October 11, 1994. On
October 13, 1994, the Superintendent moved for permission to appeal to the
Appellate Division; this motion was denied on January 17, 1995. The
Superintendent did not appeal from the decisions of the Appellate Division and,
as of May 11, 1995, had not informed the Company whether he intends to schedule
a hearing pursuant to the July 8, 1994 Order and Decision. The portion of the
litigation related to rates for contracts entered into or renewed on or after
April 1, 1994 through September 30, 1994 was implicitly mooted by the
Superintendent's Opinion and Decision dated April 29, 1994 approving revised
rates for such period, leaving only that portion of the litigation related to
rates for contracts entered into or renewed during the first quarter of 1994
subject to a possible hearing.
The Company is involved in legal actions concerning benefit plan coverage
and other decisions by the Company and alleged medical malpractice by
participating providers. If found liable in such actions, which are vigorously
defended on several grounds including ERISA, the Company may bear financial
responsibility for adverse consequences. The Company is also involved in
certain other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, these claims and legal actions will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
