                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



       NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 

       Basis of Presentation
       ---------------------

       Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("MHP"), is a
       holding company which owns various subsidiaries, primarily health
       maintenance organizations ("HMOs").    The accompanying unaudited
       consolidated  financial   statements   have   been   prepared  in
       accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles for
       interim financial information.  In the opinion of management, all
       adjustments considered necessary  for  a fair presentation, which
       consist  solely  of  normal   recurring  adjustments,  have  been
       included.      All   significant   inter-company   balances   and
       transactions have been eliminated.  

       For further information on MHP and subsidiaries (collectively the
       "Company") refer  to  the  consolidated  financial statements and
       accompanying footnotes included in the Company's annual report on
       Form 10-K as filed  with  the  Securities and Exchange Commission
       for the year ended December 31, 1994.

       Capital Stock and Net Income Per Common and Common Equivalent
       -------------------------------------------------------------
       Share
       -----

       The Company concluded the  redemption  of its Series A Cumulative
       Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A  Stock") on March 14, 1995
       (the "Redemption Date").   Holders  of approximately 2.27 million
       shares  of   Series   A   Stock   converted   their  shares  into
       approximately 6.25 million shares  of the Company's Common Stock.
       As a result of the redemption  of  the Series A Stock the Company
       paid no preferred stock  dividends  in 1995, and, accordingly, no
       consideration  is  given  to  preferred  stock  dividends  in the
       calculation of earnings per  share  for  the three and nine month
       periods ended September 30, 1995.

       Primary earnings per share  are  computed  by dividing net income
       available to common shareholders  by  the weighted average number
       of  common  shares  outstanding,  after  giving  effect  to stock
       options with an exercise price less than the average market price
       for the period.    Common  shares  issued  upon the conversion of
       preferred stock have been included in the weighted average number
       of common shares outstanding subsequent to the conversion date.  

       Fully diluted earnings  per  share  are  computed by dividing net
       income  by  the   weighted   average   number  of  common  shares
       outstanding, after giving effect to stock options with an
       <PAGE>
       exercise price less  than  the  market  price  at  the end of the
       period (or average market price  if  use of that price results in
       greater dilution) and shares assumed to be issued upon conversion
       of the Company's preferred stock.   Common shares issued upon the
       conversion of preferred stock have  been included in the weighted
       average number of  common  shares  outstanding  and the preferred
       shares have been  excluded  from  the  weighted average number of
       common equivalent shares outstanding subsequent to the conversion
       date. 

       Fully diluted  earnings  per  share  are  reported  only when the
       amount calculated is less  than  the  primary earnings per share.
       For the three  and  nine  months  ended  September 30, 1994 fully
       diluted earnings  per  share  exceeded  the  primary earnings per
       share (i.e., the  calculations  were  "anti-dilutive") so primary
       earnings per share are reported as fully diluted.  

       Income Taxes
       ------------

       The Company reported a  $1.4  million  income tax benefit for the
       three months ended September 30, 1995 due to a change in estimate
       of the net operating loss  carryforwards  that can be utilized in
       the current year period.

       Item 2:  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                -------------------------------------------------
                Condition and Results of Operations
                -----------------------------------

       Results of Operations

       The Company reported  net  income  of  $7.5  million for the three
       months ended September 30,  1995,  compared  to net income of $3.1
       million for the three months ended September 30, 1994.  Net income
       per common share on a fully  diluted  basis was $.41 for the third
       quarter of 1995, compared to  net  income per common share of $.16
       for the third quarter of 1994.

       Operating revenues were $119.9  million  for  the third quarter of
       1995, a 10.7% increase when  compared  to the same period in 1994.
       The increased  operating  revenues  were  the  result  of an 11.4%
       increase in membership,  partially  offset  by  a 0.7% decrease in
       premium  revenue  per  member  per  month.    Increased  operating
       revenues  were  primarily  generated  by  new  Medicaid  lines  of
       business in California and Indiana and by the Company's commercial
       line  of  business  in  Indiana,  California,  Illinois  and North
       Carolina.

       Health care expenses increased 9.4% to $104.2 million in the third
       quarter of 1995 as compared to the third quarter of 1994; however,
       health care expenses as  a  percentage  of operating revenues (the
       "medical loss ratio")  decreased  1.0  percentage  point to 86.9%,
       contributing $1.2 million  of  the  $2.6  million  increase in the
       excess of the Company's  operating  revenues over its total health
       care expenses (the "gross margin").

       Marketing, general and  administrative  ("M,G&A") expenses for the
       third quarter of 1995 increased  5.4% to $10.9 million as compared
       to the third quarter  of  1994  but  decreased  as a percentage of
       operating  revenues  from   9.6%   to   9.1%.    Depreciation  and
       amortization expenses decreased by  $122,000  for the three months
       ended September 30, 1995 when compared to the same period in 1994.

       Net investment income for the  third  quarter of 1995 increased by
       $.7 million to $1.6  million  as  compared  to  the same period in
       1994.   This  increase  was  due  to  greater  cash and investment
       balances primarily attributable to  the  results of operations and
       to higher interest rates.

       The Company reported a  $1.4  million  income  tax benefit for the
       three months ended September 30, 1995  due to a change in estimate
       of net operating loss  carryforwards  that  can be utilized in the
       current year period.

       Maxicare concluded  the  redemption  of  its  Series  A Cumulative
       Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series A  Stock") on March 14, 1995.
       As a result of this redemption,  the Company is no longer required
       to pay Series A Stock dividends.
       <PAGE>
       For the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 the Company reported
       net income of $17.1 million  as  compared  to $5.3 million for the
       same period in 1994.   This  $11.8  million  increase is due to an
       improvement in the gross  margin  of  $6.8 million, an increase of
       $2.5 million in net investment income  and the impact in 1994 of a
       $3.0 million litigation charge,  all    partially  offset by a $.3
       million increase in  the  provision  for  income  taxes  and a $.2
       million increase in the  combined  total of M,G&A and depreciation
       and amortization expenses.    The  medical loss ratio for the nine
       months ended September 30, 1995 was 86.7% as compared to 87.8% for
       the same period in 1994.

       Liquidity and Capital Resources

       Certain of  MHP's  operating  subsidiaries  are  subject  to state
       regulations  which  require   compliance  with  certain  statutory
       deposit,   reserve,   dividend    distribution   and   net   worth
       requirements.   To  the  extent  the  operating  subsidiaries must
       comply with these  regulations,  they  may  not have the financial
       flexibility to transfer funds  to  MHP.  MHP's proportionate share
       of  net  assets  (after   inter-company  eliminations)  which,  at
       September 30, 1995, may not  be transferred to MHP by subsidiaries
       in the form  of  loans,  advances  or  cash  dividends without the
       consent of  a  third  party  is  referred  to  as  "Restricted Net
       Assets".    Total  Restricted   Net   Assets  of  these  operating
       subsidiaries  were  $29.8  million  at  September  30,  1995, with
       deposit requirements and limitations  imposed by state regulations
       on the distribution  of  dividends  representing $11.2 million and
       $10.2 million of the Restricted  Net Assets, respectively, and net
       worth requirements in excess  of deposit requirements and dividend
       limitations  representing  the   remaining   $8.4  million.    The
       Company's total Restricted Net  Assets  at September 30, 1995 were
       $30.0 million.  In  addition  to  the  $21.5 million in cash, cash
       equivalents and marketable  securities  held by MHP, approximately
       $16.0 million could be  considered  available  for transfer to MHP
       from operating subsidiaries.

       All of MHP's operational  subsidiaries  are direct subsidiaries of
       MHP.  All of the Company's HMOs are federally qualified, and, with
       the exception of  the  Company's  South  Carolina  HMO, all of the
       Company's operating HMOs  are  licensed  in  the states where they
       primarily operate.  The operations  of  the South Carolina HMO are
       currently   under   Bankruptcy   Court   jurisdiction   pending  a
       reorganization of that entity to operate  as a licensed HMO in the
       state of South Carolina.    The  Company  believes that it will be
       able to  ultimately  resolve  the  South  Carolina HMO's licensing
       situation  with  the  state  of  South  Carolina  as  a separately
       licensed HMO in such state or, alternatively, as a division of one
       of its other operating HMOs to  be  licensed to do business in the
       state of South Carolina. The  Company  cannot predict at this time
       the required capital infusion, if  any,  which may result from the
       separate licensing of the South Carolina HMO in the state of South
       Carolina or the  operation  of  it  as  a  division  of one of the
       Company's operating HMOs.  If infusion of additional cash
       <PAGE>
       resources is required to  ensure compliance with statutory deposit
       and net worth requirements, the Company does not believe that such
       an infusion will have a  material adverse effect on its operations
       taken as a whole.

       The operating HMOs currently pay  monthly  fees to MHP pursuant to
       administrative  services   agreements   for   various  management,
       financial, legal, computer  and  telecommunications services.  The
       Company believes that  for  the  foreseeable  future  it will have
       sufficient resources  to  fund  ongoing  operations  and remain in
       compliance with statutory financial requirements.

       Pursuant   to   the   Company's   plan   of   reorganization  (the
       "Reorganization  Plan"),  the   Company   was   required  to  make
       distributions based on  its  consolidated  net  worth in excess of
       $2.0 million at December 31,  1991 and 1992 (the "Consolidated Net
       Worth Distribution").    Such  distributions  were allocated sixty
       percent (60%) to redeem outstanding Senior Notes and forty percent
       (40%) to the Distribution Trust for the benefit of certain classes
       of creditors.  As a  result  of  the foregoing, the Company made a
       Consolidated Net Worth Distribution of  $2.0 million in 1992 based
       on the Company's net worth at  December  31, 1991.  In March 1992,
       the Company consummated the sale of $60 million of Series A Stock.
       The proceeds from this sale,  plus internally generated cash, were
       utilized to redeem in April  1992 the entire outstanding principal
       amount and accrued interest on the  Senior Notes.  The sale of the
       Series A Stock had the  effect of significantly increasing the net
       worth  of  the  Company.   The   Company   does  not  believe  the
       Reorganization Plan contemplated either the issuance of the Series
       A Stock or the  redemption  of  the Senior Notes, and accordingly,
       the  Company  believes  the  Consolidated  Net  Worth Distribution
       required by the  Reorganization  Plan  should  be  calculated on a
       basis  as  if  the  sale  of  the  Series  A  Stock  had  not been
       consummated and the Senior  Notes  had  not  been  redeemed.  As a
       result of the foregoing,  the  Company calculated the December 31,
       1992   Consolidated   Net   Worth   Distribution   amount   to  be
       approximately $971,000, which  was  deposited  for distribution to
       certain creditors under the Reorganization Plan in March 1993.  In
       addition, the Company  believes  that  any  Consolidated Net Worth
       Distribution  which  under  the  Reorganization  Plan  was  to  be
       utilized to redeem  the  Senior  Notes  is  not required since the
       Senior Notes were fully redeemed.   The committee representing the
       creditors (the "New Committee") has  stated it does not agree with
       the  Company's  interpretation  of  the  Reorganization  Plan  and
       believes that additional amounts may be due under the Consolidated
       Net Worth Distribution provision of  the Reorganization Plan.  The
       Company has,  on  a  number  of  occasions,  responded  to various
       questions raised by and  inquiries  of the New Committee regarding
       this matter and believes that if  this matter were to be litigated
       its  position  in  this  matter  would  ultimately  prevail.    In
       addition, the Company has  in  the past had settlement discussions
       with the  New  Committee  with  respect  to  a  resolution of this
       matter.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the  Company elected to
       accrue in its consolidated financial statements for the year ended
       December 31, 1992 the maximum  potential liability of $7.2 million
       related to this matter. The  amount that may be ultimately payable
       pursuant to this Reorganization  Plan  provision, if any, could be
       less than the amount accrued.  
       <PAGE>
       With a current  ratio  (i.e.,  current  assets  divided by current
       liabilities) of  2.1  and  less  than  $1.0  million  of long-term
       liabilities at September 30,  1995,  the  Company does not believe
       that  it  will  need  additional   working  capital  to  fund  its
       operations for  the  foreseeable  future.    Although  the Company
       believes that it would be able to raise additional working capital
       through either an equity infusion  or borrowings if it so desired,
       the Company cannot state with any degree of certainty at this time
       whether additional  equity  capital  or  working  capital would be
       available  to  it,  and  if  available,  would  be  at  terms  and
       conditions acceptable to the Company.

       On February 27, 1991  the  Company  filed  a  petition against  the
       Commonwealth of  Pennsylvania,  Department  of  Public Welfare (the
       "DPW") with the Pennsylvania Board  of Claims (the "Board") seeking
       damages in excess of  $24  million.    Pursuant  to an order of the
       Board, the action was  set  for  trial  in  two phases; a liability
       phase  and  a  damages  phase.   The  trial  before  the  Board  of
       contractual issues pertaining  to  DPW's  liability (the "Liability
       Phase") concluded on July 25, 1994.  On December 2, 1994, the Board
       issued an order concerning  the  Liability  Phase which found that:
       (i)  a  contract  exists  between  Penn  Health  Corporation ("Penn
       Health") and the DPW; (ii) the DPW breached the contract; and (iii)
       Penn Health is an independent  general  contractor and not an agent
       of the DPW.    Commencing  on  September  18,  1995 the Board heard
       testimony on the parties' respective damages (the "Damages Phase").
       The parties are waiting for  the Board to schedule additional trial
       days  to  conclude  testimony  on  damages  issues  and  the trial.
       Following conclusion of the  Damages  Phase the parties will submit
       legal memoranda to the Board, before a ruling will be issued by the
       Board.  The Company believes  that  its  claims against the DPW are
       meritorious and that  it  will  prevail  in  its  action before the
       Board.

       d. OTHER LITIGATION

       The Company is a defendant in a number of other lawsuits arising in
       the ordinary course of operating its HMOs, including cases in which
       plaintiffs assert claims against the  Company or third parties that
       might in turn assert  indemnity  or contribution claims against the
       Company for  malpractice,  negligence,  bad  faith  failure  to pay
       claims on a timely basis  or  denial  of coverage. The Company does
       not believe that an  adverse  determination  in  any one or more of
       these cases would have a  material, adverse effect on the Company's
       business and operations.
