                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

 Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

         In  the  opinion  of  the  SurgiCare's  management,   the  accompanying
unaudited condensed,  consolidated  financial statements include all adjustments
consisting  of  only  normal   recurring   adjustments   necessary  for  a  fair
presentation  of  SurgiCare's  financial  position at September 30, 1999 and the
results of  operations  and cash flows for the three  months and the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Although the Company  believes that the  disclosures in these financial
statements  are  adequate  to make the  information  presented  not  misleading,
certain  information  normally  included  in  financial  statements  prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles has been condensed or
omitted  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Results of operations for the nine months ending September 30, 1999
are not  necessarily  indicative of results of operations to be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1999.  Refer to the Company's  financial  statements on
Form 10-SB for the year ended December 31, 1998 for additional information.


Note 2- Accounting Policies

         SurgiCare,  Inc.  (the  Company)  maintains its accounts on the accrual
method  of  accounting  in  accordance   with  generally   accepted   accounting
principles.  Accounting  principles  followed  by the Company and the methods of
applying those principles which materially affect the determination of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below:

   Principles of Consolidation

            These consolidated  financial statements include the accounts of the
   Company  and its  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  Bellaire  SurgiCare,  Inc.  All
   material  intercompany  balances and  transactions  have been  eliminated  in
   consolidation.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents

            The Company  considers all short-term  investments  with an original
   maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

   Revenue Recognition

            Revenue is recognized on the date the procedures are performed,  and
   accounts  receivable are recorded at that time.  Revenues are reported at the
   estimated  realizable amounts from patients and third-party payers.  Earnings
   are  charged  with a  provision  for  contractual  adjustments  and  doubtful
   accounts  based  on  fee  schedules,  contracts  and  collection  experience.
   Contractual adjustments and accounts deemed uncollectible are applied against
   the allowance account.

   Inventory

            Inventory consists of medical and pharmaceutical  supplies which are
   stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined under the first-in,
   first-out method.

                                   (Unaudited)

   Property and Equipment

            Property and equipment  are presented at cost.  Medical and surgical
   equipment, of approximately $144,000,  under capital lease is recorded at the
   present value of future minimum lease payments. Depreciation and amortization
   are  computed at rates  considered  sufficient  to  amortize  the cost of the
   assets,  using the straight-line  method over their estimated useful lives as
   follows:


                  Office furniture and equipment     7   years
                  Medical and surgical equipment     5   years
                  Leasehold improvements             5   years
                  Computer equipment                 5   years

   Goodwill

            Goodwill  arises  from the  acquisition  of  assets  at an amount in
   excess  of  their  fair  market  value.   Amortization  is  computed  by  the
   straight-line method over 15 years.

   Federal Income Taxes

            Prior to July 1, 1999,  the  Company had elected to be taxed as an S
   corporation  under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. As such,  current
   taxable   income  had  been  included  on  the  income  tax  returns  of  the
   shareholders  for federal  income tax purposes and no provision had been made
   for federal income taxes.

            Effective July 1, 1999, the Company changed its election to be taxed
   as a C  corporation  under the  Internal  Revenue  Code.  Taxes on income are
   provided  based upon  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 109,
   "Accounting for Income Taxes," which requires an asset and liability approach
   to financial  accounting and reporting for income taxes.  Deferred income tax
   assets and  liabilities  are computed for  differences  between the financial
   statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable
   or  deductible  amounts in the  future.  Such  deferred  income tax asset and
   liability  computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to
   periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.

   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
   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.


Note 3 - Unaudited Pro Forma Net Earnings and Pro Forma Earnings Per Share

         Pro forma earnings per share  represent pro forma net earnings (after a
pro forma  provision  for income  taxes as if the  Company  had been  subject to
federal and state income taxation as a C corporation since inception)  available
to common  shareholders  divided  by the pro forma  weighted  average  number of
common shares  outstanding  during the period. Pro forma weighted average shares
were  calculated  giving  effect to the 7,304 to 1 exchange of SurgiCare  common
stock for Bellaire common stock,  as if the reverse  acquisition had occurred at
the beginning of each period presented.

ITEM 2.

Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and results of
Operation.

SurgiCare   principal   business   strategies  are  to  (i)  increase  physician
utilization of existing facilities,  (ii) increase both the revenue and profits,
from current cases and procedures  being  performed in existing  facilities and,
(iii) achieve growth and expand revenues by pursuing  strategic  acquisitions of
existing,  and the  development  of new,  physician  owned  ambulatory  surgical
centers.

     (i)  Bellaire  SurgiCare is currently  operating  at or near  capacity.  In
          order to facilitate growth,  SurgiCare is in the process of adding one
          additional  operating room to its Bellaire  facility.  This additional
          operating  room will  increase  the  capacity at Bellaire by 50%.  The
          architectural  and  mechanical  plans for this expansion must meet the
          approval  of both the  Texas  Department  of  Health,  and the City of
          Houston.  This  approval  process can be lengthy,  however  management
          expects to begin its expansion and  remodeling  project before the end
          of fiscal 1999.

     (ii) SurgiCare  is  constantly  striving to achieve  increase  profits from
          existing revenues. This process includes evaluating the use of billing
          codes,  to  insure  proper   reimbursement.   Revenues   generated  at
          ambulatory  surgical  centers are  primarily  derived from third party
          payers.  In an effort to standardize the billing and paying  processes
          the industry uses an elaborate,  extremely  complicated coding system.
          Subsequently  there can be more than one  acceptable set of codes used
          to bill for any given  procedure.  SurgiCare is constantly  evaluating
          the codes used,  in order to maximize the greatest  reimbursement  for
          any given  procedures.  Surgical  supply costs are the single  largest
          cost component of any ambulatory surgical center.  Therefore SurgiCare
          is always looking for ways to decrease the cost of surgical  supplies.
          Through  participation  in national  buying groups  SurgiCare has been
          able to  negotiate  discounts on most of the  commonly  used  surgical
          supplies.  SurgiCare has also implemented a "Just in Time" approach to
          inventory.  This allows the center to minimize  the amount of supplies
          that it is required  to keep in  inventory.  SurgiCare  is also always
          looking for new  distributors  of its surgical  supplies that have the
          capability to deliver the majority of its surgical  supplies  "Just in
          Time", provide quality service, at reduced prices. SurgiCare has found
          that the  purchasing  policy that govern the  acquisition  of surgical
          equipment,  is  an  important  key  to  maximize  a  center's  profit.
          Therefore  all  equipment is purchased at the  corporate  level,  this
          control  enables  SurgiCare  to aquire the lowest  resonably  possible
          price.

     (iii)SurgiCare is in the process of identifying ambulatory surgical centers
          as potential  acquisition targets,  and has, in some cases,  conducted
          preliminary  discussions with  representatives of centers. At the time
          of this filing there are no commitments, understandings, or agreements
          with any potential  acquisition  targets. All of such discussions have
          been  tentative in nature and there can be no assurance that SurgiCare
          will  acquire any center with whom  discussions  have been  conducted.
          SurgiCare  expects that generally the  acquisition of another  surgery
          center  would take the form of a merger,  stock-for-stock  exchange or
          stock-for-assets  exchange,  and  that in most  instances  the  target
          company will wish to structure the business  combination  to be within
          the definition of a tax-free  reorganization  under Section 368 of the
          Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. SurgiCare may, however, use
          other  acquisition  structuring  techniques,  including  purchases  of
          assets or stock for cash or cash and stock,  or through  formation  of
          one or more limited partnerships or limited liability companies.

THREE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 vsTHREE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

     Bellaire  SurgiCare made a concerted  effort beginning in September of 1998
to increase both revenues and profits.  The strategic plan that was  implemented
consisted of decreasing  the number of cases being done in the less  profitable,
high cost  services, and  increasing  the number of cases being done in the more
profitable  less cost  intensive  services.  The results  were  realized  almost
immediately, 718 case performed by September 30, 1999 compared to 399 procedures
done for the same  period in 1998,  this  represents  80%  increase  in  average
monthly  utilization.  The revenues generated per case increased 18% from $1,418
for the three month period  ending  September  30, 1999,  to $1,670 for the same
three month period in 1999. The pre-tax earnings generated per case increased by
44% from $482 per case for the three month period ending  September 30, 1999, to
$697 for the same three month period in 1999.

     In the three months  ending  September 30, 1999  Bellaire  recorded  record
revenue of  $1,199,163  compared to $566,121  for the same period in 1998,  this
represents a 112% increase.  The  significance  of this increase is amplified by
the disproportionate  increase in expenses for the same period.  Direct surgical
expenses  rose only 53% from  $256,798 to  $392,803.  As a  percentage  of total
revenue, the same surgical cost dropped from 21% to 16% for the same three-month
period ending September 20, 1999. General and Administrative  expenses fell from
$147,911 in 1998 to $143,412 for the same  three-month  period in 1999, and as a
percentage of total revenue,  General and  Administrative  expenses also dropped
from 26% in 1998 to 12% for the same three month period in 1999.  The results of
the record  revenues,  coupled  with the  decrease  in  virtually  all cost as a
percentage of total revenue, translated to an increase in pre-tax earning of 160
% to $500,508 from $192,665.

NINE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 vs. NINE MONTHS ENDING SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

     The nine months ending  September 30, 1999  dramatically  demonstrated  the
success of SurgiCare's strategic effort to increase the number of profitable low
cost procedures while decreasing the number of high cost, low profit procedures.
The number of surgical  cases rose 46% from 1312 cases for the nine month period
ending  September  30,  1998,  to 1918 for the  same  period  in 1999.  Revenues
generated  per case for the same  period  rose 27% from an  average of $1293 per
case to $1654.  Most  significant  was the 136%  increase  in  pre-tax  earnings
generated  per case,  from $331 for the nine month period  ending  September 30,
1998, to $784 for the same period in 1999.

     In the nine months ending  September 1999,  Bellaire posted record revenues
of  $3,172,933  compared  to  $1,697,248  for the same  period  in  1998,  a 87%
increase.  For the same  period  direct  surgical  expenses  rose  only 31% from
$812,769 to  $1,065,113.  As a percentage of revenue  direct  surgical  expenses
dropped from 47% for the nine month period ending September 30, 1998, to 34% for
the same period in 1999.  General and  Administrative  expenses  dropped 4% from
$482,247 for the nine month period  ending  September  30, 1998, to $456,904 for
the same period in 1999. As a percentage of revenue  General and  Administrative
Expenses fell from 28% for the nine months ending  September 30, 1998 to 14% for
the same  period in 1999.  The  increased  revenue,  along with the  decrease in
expenses  yielded a increase in pre tax earnings of 245% to  $1,505,158  for the
nine month period ending September 30,1999, from $435,107 for the same period in
1998.

         This  increase  was due to the effort  which  beginning in September of
1998 to  increase  both  revenues  and  profits.  The  strategic  plan  that was
implemented  consisted of decreasing  the number of cases being done in the less
profitable,  high cost service, and increasing the number of cases being done in
the more profitable less cost intensive services.

         In 1999, in an effort to better  capture and track  incremental  direct
expense, some expenses previously classified,  as "Professional Fees" have  been
re-classified to "Contract Services". This change in classification dramatically
altered  the  total  expenses  as a  percentage  of  revenue  for  both of these
accounts, however the net effect is unaltered.

         In July of 1999, SurgiCare incurred a one-time charge of $164,333. This
charge  was a fee for the  termination  of  Bellaire's  pre-existing  management
contract with Surgery Centers of America.  As a direct result of the termination
of  this  contract, there  was a  slight  decrease  in the  management  fee as a
percentage  of revenue,  in the seven months  ending July 31, 1999 over the same
period in 1998. The management fee was decreased in July of 1999 only, therefore
estimates that the cost of management will decrease more significantly in future
periods.

LIQUIDITY and CAPTIAL RESOURCES

         SurgiCare's  current  source of liquidity  consists  primarily of funds
from operations.  SurgiCare  believes that the cash available from operations is
adequate to meet the company's requirements.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         Many  computer  systems  and  software  products  are  not  capable  of
distinguishing  twenty-first  century ("Y2K") dates. As a result, many companies
could experience  operating problems because of the century change. There exists
uncertainty  concerning the magnitude of the problem associated with the century
change.
         Throughout  the  first  half of  1999  SurgiCare  evaluated  all of its
computer  hardware  and  software  for Y2K  compatibility.  SurgiCare  has since
upgraded its computer  hardware and software to insure Y2K  compatibility.  This
upgrade was  completed  in August 1999.  In addition  SurgiCare  has  contracted
through an independent  biomedical  engineering firm, to research and survey the
Y2K compatibility of all of its patient care equipment. The survey was completed
in  September  1999,  and  the  results  were   immediately  made  available  to
management. The survey discovered no Y2K incompatibilities in any of the patient
care  equipment.  However as a  contingency  SurgiCare  plans to test all of its
patient  critical  equipment  prior to patient  use in the first days of January
2000.
         SurgiCare has contacted its major vendors to determine if there are any
Y2K  issues  that  would  cause an  interruption  in the  delivery  of  surgical
supplies.  SurgiCare is  confident  at this time that all of it's major  vendors
have  prepared for Y2K and expect no delays or  interruption  in the delivery of
supplies.  The Company has, as a  contingency,  located and arranged  additional
sources for it's daily supplies.  Therefore should current vendors encounter any
Y2K problems, it would not prevent the Company from obtaining necessary supplies
and materials from its other sources.

         The  costs  of the  Company's  Y2K  program  will  not be  material  to
financial  condition or results of operations.  The Company  believes that there
will be no  significant  disruptions  in  operations  from Y2K  related  issues.
However,  failure of  telecommunications  or banking service providers to be Y2K
compliant  could have a material effect on the Company's  financial  position or
results of  operations.  SurgiCare  has  received  disclosures  from its banking
service provider that it is Y2K compliant,  and expects no disruption due to any
Y2K complications.
