Note 8: HALIS Business Collaboration.
During the fourth quarter of calendar 1997, the Company completed negotiations
regarding a series of transactions with HALIS; two officers and directors of
HALIS; MERAD Corporation, a Georgia corporation ("MERAD"), which is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Paul Harrison Enterprises, Inc. ("PHE"), an affiliate
of HALIS; and several shareholders of HALIS. These transactions followed the
execution during August 1997, by HealthWatch and HALIS of a letter of intent
which contemplated a merger of the two companies.
HALIS and HealthWatch had originally planned to merge. Following discussions,
HALIS and HealthWatch determined that it would be preferable for the two
companies to adopt a shared business development strategy, but for HealthWatch
to remain a separate company. To implement this strategy, HealthWatch and HALIS
have entered into a business collaboration agreement whereby HealthWatch and
HALIS will share sales prospects and HealthWatch will develop technology and an
integration database engine designed to monitor, capture and manage medical
information at the point of care.
In addition, the Company has obtained a license from MERAD to certain artificial
intelligence computer software and a multimedia database utility, and has
retained MERAD to develop proprietary software technology which will be used to
expand HealthWatch's product offerings to include products and services
specially focused on monitoring, capturing and managing medical information at
the point of care. Further, Paul Harrison, Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and President of HALIS and Larry Fisher, a Director and
Executive Vice-President, Chief Administrative Officer and Secretary of HALIS
have joined the HealthWatch Board of Directors.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, PHE, Mr. Fisher and two
non-affiliated shareholders of HALIS exchanged 1,100,000 of their shares of
HALIS stock for 880,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and PHE was granted
an option to acquire 320,000 additional shares of HealthWatch Common Stock in
exchange for 400,000 additional shares of HALIS common stock, the exchange ratio
being based on the market value for each company's common stock at the time that
the transaction was negotiated; and HALIS and private investors acquired an
aggregate of 432,667 shares of the Company's Common Stock for an aggregate
purchase price of $649,000. During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, Paul
Harrison Enterprises, Inc. ("PHE") and its assigns exercised the option to
exchange 400,000 HALIS shares for 320,000 shares of HealthWatch Common Stock.
PHE exchanged an additional 1,262,000 HALIS shares for 378,000 shares of
HealthWatch Common Stock.
<PAGE>

Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized Common Stock to

5,000,000 shares, par value $.01 per share was approved.
Note 10: Marketable Securities - Unrealized Holding Loss.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998, the Company exchanged an
aggregate of 698,000 and 1,578,000 shares, respectively, of its Common Stock for
1,662,000 and 1,100,000 shares, respectively, of HALIS common stock. The market
value of these securities was $.53125 per share and $1.75 per share,
respectively, for an aggregate of 2,762,000 shares valued at $2,807,937 at the
time of acquisition. At March 31, 1998, the market value of the Company's
investment in HALIS, based on the last sales price of the HALIS stock on March
31, 1998, was $.27 per share or $745,740 in the aggregate. At March 31, 1998,
the unrealized holding loss was $(2,062,198).
Note 11: Reverse Stock Split
On February 11, 1998, the Company announced a one-for-five reverse split of the
Company's Common Stock effective February 23, 1998. The primary reason for the
reverse stock split was to meet The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.'s new $1.00
minimum bid requirement. All share, per share, weighted average share, preferred
stock, stock option and stock warrant information in these financial statements
has been restated to reflect the split.
Note 12: Sale of Assets
During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company completed a Share Sale
Agreement to dispose of its Cambridge division in the United Kingdom. The sale
resulted in a $(102,884) loss on the disposition of this division.
Note 13: Loans by Affiliates
During three months ended March 31, 1998, two of the Company's Directors, Paul
W. Harrison and Larry Fisher, each loaned the Company $17,000 for a period of 90

HEALTHWATCH, INC.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
In recent years, the markets in which the Company participates have experienced
significant changes and a period of uncertainty due to proposed changed in
health-care administration in the United Sates and efforts by health-care
organizations to reduce their operating costs and the cost of health-care in
general. As a result, the Company has focused its products in the hospital
marketplace in anticipation of lower sales directly to physicians. The Company
believes that the major changes which have been introduced to the health-care
industry will place greater emphasis on lower-cost products. While medical
standards for safety and effectiveness are expected to remain strong, costs are
expected to be a deciding factor on health-care purchases.
HealthWatch has incurred losses from operations in each of its last three fiscal
years. The Company is seeking to sell its Cambridge service and supply business
and expects to discontinue offering the Cambridge line of products. During the
quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company reported the first sales of the Pacer,
its new IV product. During October 1997, the Company initiated efforts to expand
its product and service offerings to include the monitoring, capturing and
management of medical information. An important element of HealthWatch's
business strategy for fiscal 1998 is to expand through acquisitions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues declined 27% and 31% during the three and nine month periods ended
March 31, 1998, respectively compared to the similar periods in fiscal 1997, due
primarily to a decline in sales. The Company believes that product sales were
depressed largely due to the limited availability of its enhanced MVL and PVR
systems. At March 31, 1998, the Company had three enhanced MVL and four PVR
systems on backorder. Although shipments of the enhanced MVL product commenced
during the third quarter of fiscal 1998, material requirements driven by the
product ramp-up were not entirely satisfied prior to the end of the third
quarter. The Company believes that the backorder will be cleared during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1998. Revenues are expected to decline in future
periods when compared to similar periods in prior fiscal years due to the sale
during the third quarter of the Company's Cambridge division in the United
Kingdom.
Gross margins were 35% and 18% for the three and nine month periods ended March
31, 1998, respectively compared to 21% and 17% for the comparable 1997 periods.
The higher gross margins in 1998 were due primarily to reduced manufacturing
overhead expenses resulting from the relocation of its manufacturing facilities.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were 103% and
116% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 1998, respectively compared
with 75% and 75% for the similar 1997 periods. This increase was due primarily
to lower sales level and the expenditures associated with the enhanced MVL
product launch.

HEALTHWATCH, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CONTINUED
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At March 31, 1998, the Company had $359,042 of cash and accounts receivable. Due
to the Company's operating losses, it has been required to raise additional debt
and equity capital to fund its operations. Capital expenditures during this
period have been limited to routine capital purchases. Since the beginning of
fiscal 1998, the Company has raised $906,996 through the sale of 597,155 shares
of its common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of securities
convertible into common stock. In addition, the Company acquired 2,762,000
shares of the common stock of HALIS, Inc. in exchange for 1,578,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. This investment was made in connection with the
Company's decision to expand its product and service offerings to focus on the
monitoring, capturing and management of medical information and the development
of a joint venture and co-marketing arrangement with HALIS. While the HALIS
common stock was acquired for investment purposes, the shares are marketable and
could be sold if required to provide working capital to the Company.
The Company has recently relocated its manufacturing facilities and reduced its
corporate office space which will result in an approximately $10,000 per month
reduction in facilities expenses and since the beginning of the fourth quarter
of fiscal 1997, has reduced its number of employees by approximately 19, in
order to reduce operating expenses. The Company's 10% Convertible Secured
Debentures in the principal amount of $580,000 were due and payable on September
1, 1997. The Company obtained extensions of the due date for the payment of
$555,000 principal amount of such Debentures to March 1, 1998. The Company
believes it needs to raise approximately $1,200,000 of working capital in
addition to that already raised and committed in fiscal 1998 to sustain
operations during the next twelve months and to pay the Debentures. The Company
is considering additional private placements of its securities and has initiated
discussions regarding a possible public offering of its securities late in
fiscal 1998 or early in fiscal 1999. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to raise additional debt or equity capital or, if it is able to
raise additional capital, the price at which such capital would be available.
The Company considers its investment in HALIS to be a long-term investment.
However, in the event that the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it
may be required to sell shares of the HALIS common stock. The HALIS common stock
is traded in the over-the-counter market on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board. While the
2,762,000 shares of HALIS common stock owned by the Company represents
approximately 6% of the total outstanding shares of HALIS common stock, the
Company's ability to sell its HALIS shares could be adversely affected by the
limited trading volume for HALIS' stock and the requirement that the Company
sell its HALIS shares in accordance with Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission which could limit the number of HALIS shares which could
be sold in any three-month period to approximately 400,000 shares. There can be
no assurance as to the price the Company could receive for the HALIS common
stock if it were required to sell the stock to raise additional working capital.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is subject to the safe harbors created
by those sections. These forward-looking statements are subject to significant
risks and uncertainties, including those identified in the section of this Form
10-QSB entitled "Factors That May Affect Future Operating Results," which may
cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such
forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements within this Form
10-QSB are identified by words such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects,"
"intends," "may," "will" and other similar expressions. However, these words are
not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. In addition, any
statements which refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations
of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to
these forward-looking statements which
<PAGE>
may be made to reflect events or circumstances occurring subsequent to the
filing of this Form 10-QSB with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made
by the Company in this report and in the Company's other reports filed with the
SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may
affect the Company's business.
RECENT OPERATING LOSSES. The Company has incurred losses from
operations in each of its last five fiscal years. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to operate at a profit in the future. The Company is
not able to finance current working capital requirements from operations.
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FINANCING. The Company estimates that it needs
approximately $600,000 of additional debt or equity capital to complete
development and introduction of its new information software technology and to
sustain its operations during the next twelve months. In addition, the Company
will need to obtain approximately $675,000 of additional capital to pay its
outstanding Secured Convertible Debentures which are past due. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain such financing, or if
obtained, that it will be sufficient or on terms and conditions acceptable to
the Company. If such funds are obtained through the issuance of additional
equity securities of the Company, there can be no assurance that such shares
will be issued at prices or on terms equal to or greater than the offering price
or terms of this offering. Any such future equity financing could be dilutive to
shareholders of the Company.
UNCERTAINTY OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE; RELIANCE ON A LIMITED NUMBER OF
PRODUCTS. The Company's new software information technology is under development
and there can be no assurance that this product will be successfully developed
and introduced to the marketplace. Achieving market acceptance for the Company's
products will require substantial marketing efforts and expenditures to inform
potential customers of the distinctive characteristics and benefits of these
products. Since the Company has limited financial and other resources to
undertake extensive independent marketing activities, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to market its products successfully.
ACQUISITIONS AND INTEGRATION. An important element of the Company's
business strategy is to expand through acquisitions. The Company's future
success is dependent upon its ability to finance acquisitions and effectively
integrate acquired businesses with the Company's operations. Although the
Company believes it will be able to effect such integration, there can be no
assurance that past or future acquisitions will be successfully integrated or
that any such acquisition will otherwise be successful. In addition, the
financial performance of the Company is now, and will continue to be, subject to
various risks associated with the acquisition of businesses, including the
financial affects associated with the integration of such businesses.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE; PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY. Future advances in the
healthcare information systems industry could lead to new technologies, products
or services that are competitive with the products and services offered by the
Company. The Company' success will depend, in part, on its ability to be
responsive to technological developments and challenges. Such technological
advances could also lower the cost of such products and services or otherwise
result in competitive pricing pressures, which could have an adverse effect on
the Company. To remain competitive in the evolving healthcare information
systems marketplace; the Company must develop new products on a timely basis.
The failure to develop competitive products or to introduce new products on a
timely basis could have an adverse effect on the Company's future financial
performance.
PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. The Company does not have any
patents or registered copyrights and does not anticipate obtaining any patents
or registered copyrights in the near future. The Company treats its software and
related technical data as confidential and relies on internal nondisclosure
safeguards, including confidentiality agreements with employees, and on laws
protecting trade secrets, to protect what it regards as proprietary information.
Competitors and customers may nevertheless be able to copy certain functional
aspects of the Company' products.
POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE. The market price of the Common
Stock may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to the Company'
operating results and other factors, and there can be no assurance that the
market price of the common stock will not decline below the offering price
herein. In addition, the stock market
<PAGE>
has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations,
particularly in the high technology sector, which have often been unrelated to
the operating performance of particular companies. Such fluctuations and factors
such as announcements of technological innovations or new products by the
Company or its competitors or third parties, as well as market conditions in the
computer software or hardware industries and healthcare reform measures, may
have a significant effect on the market price of the Company's common stock.
FLUCTUATIONS IN QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE. The Company's future product
sales are expected to be derived primarily from the sale of software systems and
related services in the healthcare industry, the market for which is still
developing. Accordingly, the Company's quarterly results of operations are
difficult to predict, and delays in the closing of sales near the end of the
quarter could cause quarterly revenues and, to a greater degree, operating and
net income to fall substantially short of anticipated levels. The Company's
total revenues and net income levels could also be adversely affected by
cancellations or delays of orders, interruptions or delays in the supply of key
components, changes in customer base or product mix, seasonal patterns of
capital spending by customers, delays in purchase decisions due to new product
announcements by the Company or its competitors, increased competition and
reductions in average selling prices.
LIMITATIONS ON BROKER/DEALER SALES OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK;
APPLICABILITY OF PENNY STOCK RULES. The Company's common stock is currently
traded on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market. To remain listed on the Nasdaq Small Cap
Market, the Company must, among other things, maintain a minimum tangible net
worth of $2 million and a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. As of the date
of this Memorandum, the Company's tangible net worth was less than $2 million
and the bid price for its stock was less than $1.00 per share. The Company has
initiated efforts to increase its tangible net worth to more than $2 million
through the issuance of securities pursuant to this Offering and through
acquisitions. There can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be
successful in this regard and that its shares of common stock will continue to
be listed on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market. In the event that the Company's common
stock was delisted from the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, the application of the
"Penny Stock Rules" under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
would make it more difficult for broker/dealers to sell the Company's common
stock and purchasers of the Shares offered hereby may have difficulty in selling
their Shares in the future in the secondary trading market.
CONTROL BY PAUL W. HARRISON. Paul Harrison, the Chairman of the Board
of Directors of the Company, exercises voting control over approximately 35% of
the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of such
concentration of ownership, Mr. Harrison has the ability to exert significant
influence on the policies and affairs of the Company and corporate actions
requiring shareholder approval, including the election of the members of the
Board of Directors.
COMPETITION. There are many companies that produce equipment which
competes with the Company's current and proposed products. Most of the Company's
competitors have substantially greater financial and marketing resources than
the Company. The Company expects that these competitors will continue to compete
aggressively with tactics such as offering volume discounts based on "bundled"
purchases of a broader-range of medical equipment and supplies, a tactic that
the Company is unable to pursue except on a joint venture basis. There can be no
assurance that such competition will not adversely affect the Company's results
of operations or its ability to maintain or increase sales and market share.
Competition could require that the Company commit significantly greater
resources to the introduction of its products than would otherwise be required.
