PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
PacifiCare [REGISTERED TRADEMARK] Health Systems, Inc. (the "Company") is
one of the nation's leading managed health care services companies which
arranges for the delivery of a comprehensive range of health care services,
primarily through its health maintenance organization ("HMO") operations, for
more than 1.3 million commercial, Medicare and Medicaid members. The Company
serves the group employer market through seven wholly-owned HMOs located in
California, Florida, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Washington, which as of
September 30, 1994 had a combined commercial membership of approximately
949,000 members.
Since 1985, the Company has arranged for health care services to Medicare
beneficiaries through its Secure Horizons[REGISTERED TRADEMARK] programs
pursuant to capitated risk contracts with the Health Care Financing
Administration ("HCFA"). Secure Horizons is the largest Medicare risk program
in the nation and the Company believes one of the fastest growing (in terms of
membership) Medicare risk programs in the United States. As of September 30,
1994, the Company had approximately 409,000 members enrolled in its government
(Medicare and Medicaid) programs.
The Company's commercial and government program members are provided some
or all of the following health care services, including primary and specialty
physician care, hospital care, laboratory and radiology services, prescription
drugs, dental and vision care, skilled nursing care, physical therapy and
psychological counseling. The Company also offers certain specialty products
and services to group purchasers and to other managed care organizations and
their beneficiaries, including Medicare risk management services, pharmacy
benefit management, military health care management, coordination of managed
care products for multi-region employers, health and life insurance, behavioral
health, workers' compensation, dental and vision services and health promotion.
The Company believes that its ability to provide a wide range of products and
services through its commercial and government programs, together with its
specialty managed care programs, will enable it to respond effectively to
changes and needs in the health care marketplace.
THE MANAGED CARE INDUSTRY
Health care costs in the United States have risen from $27 billion in 1960,
comprising five percent of gross domestic product, to more than $1 trillion in
1994 comprising more than 14 percent of gross domestic product. In response to
the rapid increases in health care costs, employers, insurers, government
entities and health care providers have sought cost-effective alternatives to
conventional indemnity insurance for the delivery of and payment for quality
health care services. The integration of the delivery of, and payment for,
health care services distinguishes HMOs from conventional health insurance
plans.
HMOs emerged as an alternative to conventional health insurance plans
following enactment of the Federal Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973
(the "HMO Act"), a statute designed to encourage the establishment and expansion
of HMOs. The number of HMOs in the United States grew from 175 in December 1976
to more than 550 in December 1994. Over this period, HMO enrollment increased
at an annual compound rate of approximately 13 percent, from approximately 6
million members in December 1976 to an estimated 50 million members in December
1994.
The rate of increase in HMO membership has moderated in recent years in
response to increased competition from other types of managed health care
options, such as preferred provider organizations ("PPOs") and certain employer
self-funded programs. In addition, in some geographic markets such as
California, large employers have reduced the number of HMO options offered to
their employees. The Company believes that the ability to offer broad
geographic or statewide service and a wide range of specialty managed health
care products and services have become key competitive factors in achieving
greater economies of scale in the provision of more cost-effective health care
services and in attracting and retaining membership.

HEALTH CARE SERVICES
There are four basic organizational models of HMOs that are primarily
distinguishable by the HMO's relationship with its physician providers and the
capital intensiveness of its operations.
GROUP HMOs contract with one large multi-specialty medical group practice
which typically receives a monthly fixed fee, known as a capitation fee, for
each HMO member, regardless of the number of physician visits.
NETWORK HMOs contract with more than one physician group to provide
services generally on a capitation fee basis.
INDIVIDUAL PRACTICE ASSOCIATION ("IPA") HMOs contract with independent
physicians who are broadly dispersed throughout a community and who see patients
in their own offices in exchange for a monthly capitation fee or on a discounted
fee basis.
STAFF HMOs employ the physician and, ordinarily, use capital to provide the
facility in which the physician sees patients. The physician receives a salary
and/or bonus typically based on the performance of the HMO.
The Company primarily operates network and group HMOs and, to a lesser
extent, IPA and staff model HMOs. In order to enhance cost and quality control,
the Company may, in certain instances, expand its current involvement with
health care providers by making investments in their operations or in health
care facilities.
Members of the company's HMOs are offered a range of health care services.
These services generally include the following:
MEDICAL SERVICES. Primary care and specialist physician services,
laboratory and radiology services, family planning, health education and home
services, outpatient surgery and certain other outpatient services in which
hospitalization is not medically necessary or appropriate.
HOSPITAL SERVICES. Inpatient acute care, including room and board, medical
and surgical services, and care in skilled nursing facilities.
OTHER SERVICES. Emergency room, ambulance and out-of-area emergency
services, supplemental benefits for prescription drugs, durable medical
equipment and chiropractic, behavioral health, vision and dental services.
HMO OPERATIONS
The Company's total membership grew to approximately 1,358,000 at September
30, 1994 from approximately 246,000 at September 30, 1987, a compound annual
growth rate of approximately 28 percent. The Company anticipates that its
future growth will be enhanced by the expansion of its government programs,
acquisitions, expansion into new markets, the marketing of a broader range of
managed care products and services and the development of nationwide servicing
capabilities. The Company has also developed point-of-service plans, which
combine the features of an HMO (a defined provider network providing care to
members with reduced deductibles and co-payments) with the features of a
traditional indemnity insurance product (the freedom to use any physician, with
higher deductibles and co-payments).

</TABLE>
COMMERCIAL MEMBERS
The Company's commercial membership grew to approximately 949,000 at
September 30, 1994 from approximately 175,000 at September 30, 1987, a compound
annual growth rate of approximately 27 percent. Commercial members generally
join the Company's HMOs through an employer, which typically offers employees a
selection of indemnity insurance and managed health care plans, pays for all or
part of the monthly costs thereof and makes payroll deductions for any costs
payable by the employee. During a designated annual "open enrollment period,"
employees may select their desired health care coverage. New employees select
their health care coverage at the time of their employment. Monthly premium
rates are negotiated between the Company and the employer and are typically
fixed for a one-year period, although there is generally no requirement that the
employer offer the Company's services after the expiration of such period.
For the commercial employer market, the Company offers a range of benefit
plan options that generally vary only in the level of co-payments required for
physician office visits, inpatient hospitalization and certain other services.
A co-payment is a nominal charge paid by the member, generally at the time of
service. The Company believes that such co-payments are useful in helping
contain the costs of health care without providing a barrier to members seeking
needed health care services. The Company also offers, at an additional premium,
supplemental benefits such as outpatient prescription drug, dental, vision and
chemical dependency services. These services are generally provided through
subcontracting or referral relationships with other health care providers.
The Company's 25 largest employer groups as of September 30, 1994 accounted
for approximately 38 percent of total commercial membership, with the largest
employer group comprising approximately eight percent of total commercial
membership. The Company's five largest employer groups provided, in the
aggregate, approximately 23 percent of its commercial revenue for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1994.
GOVERNMENT MEMBERS
The Company's government membership grew to approximately 409,000 at
September 30, 1994 from approximately 71,000 at September 30, 1987, a compound
annual growth rate of approximately 28 percent. Since 1985, the Company has
provided health care services to Medicare beneficiaries through its Secure
Horizons programs pursuant to annual contracts with HCFA. These contracts
entitle the Company to a fixed fee-per-member premium (a "risk contract") and
are subject to periodic unilateral revisions based on certain demographic
information relating to the Medicare population and the cost of providing health
care in a particular geographic area. Secure Horizons is the largest Medicare
risk program in the nation and the Company believes one of the fastest growing
(in terms of membership) Medicare risk programs in the United States.
As a risk contractor, in addition to the payment of a fixed fee-per-member
premium by the member, Secure Horizons is reimbursed by the federal government
for the projected cost of health care services. Members in the Secure Horizons
programs are enrolled on an individual basis and may disenroll upon 30 days'
notice. The Company believes that its Secure Horizons programs are attractive
to Medicare beneficiaries because these programs provide a more comprehensive
package of benefits than offered under traditional Medicare, and because these
programs substantially reduce the member's administrative responsibilities.
4
<PAGE>
The Company's Medicare contracts are automatically renewed every 12 months
unless the Company or HCFA elects either not to renew or to terminate them.
HCFA may unilaterally terminate the Company's Medicare contracts if the Company
fails to continue to meet compliance and eligibility standards. This could have
a material adverse effect on the Company.
Because the use of health care services by Medicare recipients generally
exceeds the use of services by those who are under the age of 65, the Company's
Medicare contracts provide for substantially larger revenue per member than do
the Company's non-Medicare plans. Premium revenue for each Secure Horizons
member is more than three times that of a commercial member, reflecting, in
part, the higher medical and administrative costs of serving a Medicare member.
As a result, although members in the Secure Horizons programs represented
approximately 30 percent of the Company's membership at September 30, 1994, they
accounted for approximately 57 percent of the consolidated premium revenue for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 1994. Such programs, however, also are
subject to certain risks relative to commercial programs, such as higher
comparative medical costs, higher levels of utilization, government and
regulatory reporting requirements, the possibility of reduced or insufficient
government reimbursement in the future and higher marketing and advertising
costs associated with selling to individuals rather than to groups.
The Company's Secure Horizons programs are not permitted, under federal
regulations, to account for more than one-half of the Company's total HMO
members in each of the Company's non-contiguous geographic state markets. This
limitation may constrain the Company's rate of growth in expansion of markets
where the Company is able to add Medicare members at a faster rate than
commercial members.
In response to employer's needs to provide cost-effective health care
coverage for their retired employees who may not be currently eligible for
Medicare benefits, the Company developed the Secure Horizons retiree product.
This product takes advantage of PacifiCare's expertise developed in its
traditional Medicare risk programs. The premium and provider networks are the
same as in the Company's Secure Horizons programs. The retiree product provides
the Company with access to individuals who, once familiar with the Company's
services and delivery system, may enroll in Secure Horizons programs after they
become eligible for Medicare benefits.
Since 1993, the Company has arranged for health care services to Medicaid
eligibles through its HMO subsidiaries pursuant to annual contracts with the
Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS"). Currently, the Company has the
ability to arrange for health care services to Medicaid eligibles in California,
Florida and Oregon and is developing the capacity to enroll Medicaid eligibles
in Oklahoma and Texas. The Company receives a capitated payment for each
Medicaid member from HHS similar to payments received by the Company from HCFA
in connection with the Secure Horizons programs. Although the benefits
available to Medicaid eligibles are extensive, the Company believes that its
Medicaid programs are attractive to Medicaid eligibles because these programs
provide access to quality health care providers, continuity of medical care and
an introduction into mainstream managed care. The Company's Medicaid contracts
with HHS are renewed on an annual basis.
PROVIDER ARRANGEMENTS
The Company contracts with more than 330 physician groups for a defined
range of health care services. The Company pays for health care services
provided by physicians or physician groups by paying a monthly fee, or
capitation payment, based on a percentage of premium revenue or per-member-per-
month fee for each member assigned to the group. The capitation payment rate is
negotiated annually in advance with each physician or physician group and does
not subsequently vary with the nature or extent of services provided. Except as
provided below, generally, there is no requirement that the provider continue
its relationship with the Company upon expiration of the annual period. The
Company may make incentive payments to the physician or physician group based on
performance relative to budgeted targets. The Company believes that these
methods of physician reimbursement encourage efficient utilization of health
care services by its providers.
To develop more strategic and long term alliances with certain physician
groups which currently contract with the Company (the "Groups"), the Company, in
September 1994, commenced a public offering of 750,000 shares of the Company's
non-voting Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Class B Common
Stock"), to approximately 50 of such Groups. If a Group agrees to purchase
shares in the offering, it will enter into an agreement whereby it will be
irrevocably obligated to purchase a fixed number of shares of the Class B Common
Stock. The
5
<PAGE>
purchase price for the shares will be fixed and payable over a five year period.
To date, the Company has not entered into any agreements with any of the groups
to sell shares under this offering.
The Company contracts with 478 hospitals for hospital services under a
variety of arrangements including per diem, percentage of premium or per-member-
per-month capitation, discounted fee-for-service, flat fee and fee-for-service
arrangements. The loss of contracts with certain physician groups and with
certain hospitals could have a material adverse effect on the Company's HMO
operations.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
The Company evaluates the quality and appropriateness of medical care
provided to its HMO members by performing medical care evaluation and member
satisfaction studies, by reviewing the utilization of certain services and by
responding to member and physician complaints. These evaluations are based on
statistical information compiled by the Company concerning the utilization of
various health care services and on-site reviews of medical records at the
medical groups.
The Company has established a peer review procedure, which is implemented
at each HMO by a Quality Assurance Committee chaired by the HMO's Medical
Director and comprised of physicians and representatives of the physician
groups. When a new physician or physician group is considered by the Company as
a potential provider, the Company seeks to evaluate, among other things, the
quality of the physician or group's medical facilities, medical records,
laboratory and x-ray licenses and the capacity to handle membership demands.
Once selected, a physician or group is periodically reviewed to monitor whether
members are receiving quality medical care. The Company also has a member
services department to respond to membership questions and complaints.
The Company's California commercial and Secure Horizons HMO programs are
accredited by the National Committee for Quality Assurance ("the "NCQA"), a non-
profit institution which represents the interest of health care purchasers and
consumers as well as health care organizations. The California commercial and
Secure Horizons HMO programs received full accreditation from the NCQA in 1992.
PacifiCare's California and Secure Horizons HMO programs were the first HMOs in
California to be accredited.
CONTROL OF HEALTH CARE COSTS
The Company manages health care costs primarily by entering into
contractual arrangements with health care providers and by sharing the risk of
certain health care costs with the Company's contracting physicians or groups
and hospitals. The Company's HMOs arrange for comprehensive health care
services for their members principally through capitation, a fixed monthly
payment made without regard to frequency, extent or nature of the health care
services actually furnished. Benefits are provided to enrolled members
generally through the Company's contractual relationships with physician groups
and hospitals. For the year ended September 30, 1994, physician and hospital
capitation represented 56 percent and 69 percent, respectively, of total health
care costs for both the commercial and government programs combined. The focus
for medical utilization and cost control in the Company's HMOs is the primary
care physician or group (family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics) which
directs referrals, hospitalization and other services and is responsible for any
related payments to those referral providers. The primary care physician or
group is selected by the HMO member as the member's personal physician or group.
In order to manage hospital and other health care costs, the Company provides
additional incentives to the physicians or groups for appropriate utilization of
hospital inpatient, outpatient, surgery, and emergency room services. The
Company also operates a utilization review system, under which routine hospital
admissions and lengths of stay are reviewed by utilization review committees
comprised of several physicians at each physician group. The committees approve
non-emergency hospitalizations in advance. After admission, the committees,
together with the Company's medical services utilization staff, carefully
monitor the member's continued stay.
The Company, through its medical services department, becomes actively
involved in the utilization review of longer, more costly hospitalizations and
emergencies. This department also becomes involved in the field to monitor
catastrophic cases in an effort to provide members appropriate medical care and
suggest treatment options that may be more appropriate and cost-effective than a
long-term hospital stay.
6
<PAGE>
The profitability of the Company is dependent on maintaining effective
control over health care costs. New technologies, inflation, hospital costs,
major epidemics and numerous other external factors may affect the ability of
HMOs, including the Company's HMOs, to control health care costs.
RISK MANAGEMENT
In addition to the Company's cost control systems, the use of underwriting
criteria is an integral part of its risk management efforts. Underwriting is
the process by which a health plan assesses the risk of enrolling employer
groups and establishes appropriate or necessary premium rates. Utilizing
underwriting criteria, the Company seeks to avoid contracting with employers
whose employees are likely to experience an actuarially higher than expected
need for medical care. Underwriting techniques are not employed with small
employers (defined as groups with four to 50 employees) or with the government
programs because of regulations which require the Company to accept all such
employer groups and all Medicare and Medicaid applicants.
In addition, the Company shifts part of the risk of catastrophic losses by
maintaining reinsurance coverage for hospital costs incurred in the treatment of
catastrophic illnesses of its members. The Company also maintains general
liability, property, insolvency and medical malpractice insurance coverage in
amounts that the Company believes are adequate. The Company requires
contracting physicians, physician groups and hospitals to maintain individual
malpractice insurance coverage. Such insurance may become increasingly
important if plaintiffs prove successful in recent efforts to expand the
liability of an HMO for negligence, including the negligence of providers with
whom it directly or indirectly contracts. The Company has from time to time
been subject to litigation, including claims for punitive or bad faith damages,
which are not covered by insurance.
MARKETING
The Company solicits new employer groups of various sizes through direct,
personal selling efforts and through contacts with insurance brokers and
consultants. Many employer groups under contract with the Company are
represented by insurance brokers and consultants who work with the employer to
recommend or design employee benefits packages. Brokers are paid on a
commission basis by the Company over the life of the contract, while consultants
generally are paid by the employer.
In response to increased HMO penetration of employer groups in the southern
California service area, the Company has developed a marketing strategy to
strengthen and increase its market share by increasing penetration in existing
employer groups and by increasing access to new populations through expansion of
its delivery network. This strategy includes implementing a telemarketing
program and using extensive market research. Marketing efforts are also
supported by an advertising program that includes television, radio, billboard
and print media.
The Company believes that its continued success will be influenced by its
ability to offer a diverse set of products and services in its existing markets
as well as to new geographic areas and market segments. The Company believes
its experience in developing and marketing products to the competitive southern
California market and its other current markets should improve its ability to
compete successfully in new market areas.
Marketing the Company's HMOs to commercial members generally involves a
two-part sale. The employer must decide to offer the Company's HMO; then the
employee generally must choose from among the Company's HMOs and other health
care coverage options, often including other HMOs. The Company utilizes various
techniques to attract commercial members during open enrollment periods,
including work site presentations, direct mail, medical group tours and local
advertising. A significant portion of the Company's commercial membership
growth comes from existing employer groups.
The Company markets the Secure Horizons program to Medicare beneficiaries
through direct mail, telemarketing, television, radio and cooperative
advertising with participating medical groups. The Company anticipates further
growth opportunities in the Medicare risk program based on the Company's current
marketing strategies and the growing senior population in the United States.
The Company markets the Medicaid programs directly to Medicaid eligibles as the
various state laws permit. In Los Angeles, pursuant to MediCal requirements,
presentations of the health care programs, including the Company's Medicaid
program, available to Medicaid eligibles are made by independent third parties
to Medicaid eligibles.

SPECIALTY MANAGED CARE SERVICES
In addition to its HMO operations, the Company provides a wide range of
specialty managed care products and services. The Company believes that such
service diversification complements the Company's core HMO business and, given
increasing market demand for greater choice and flexibility in the design of
health care products and funding arrangements, will contribute to the Company's
competitive position in the health care services marketplace. These services
are offered to HMOs, insurers, employers, governmental entities, providers and
PPOs through the following affiliated operations:
SECURE HORIZONS[REGISTERED TRADEMARK]USA ("SHUSA") was formed in March 1993
to take advantage of the Company's expertise in the Medicare risk area. SHUSA
is authorized to license the use of the Secure Horizons service mark, trade name
and systems, in exchange for license fees, to qualified HMOs that want to engage
in Medicare risk contracting. SHUSA provides consulting, marketing, provider
contracting, administrative services and other various services in support of
the operation of a Medicare risk program by such HMOs. SHUSA intends to be
reimbursed for its expenses and to receive a percentage of the revenue derived
from each program in the form of license fees. SHUSA may also enter into joint
ventures related to Medicare risk contracting.
In September 1993, SHUSA formed an alliance with Tufts Associated Health
Maintenance Organization, Inc. ("Tufts") to develop and implement the Secure
Horizons Medicare risk program in New England. Through the alliance, Tufts
operates Secure Horizons, Tufts Health Plan for Seniors, under a license from
and with the assistance of SHUSA. As of October 1, 1994, Tufts began enrolling
Medicare beneficiaries in the Boston area in the Medicare risk plan. It is
ultimately intended that the Medicare risk plan will be offered throughout
Massachusetts and other parts of New England.
PRESCRIPTION SOLUTIONS[REGISTERED TRADEMARK] was established in May 1993
as an administrative division of PacifiCare Pharmacy Centers, Inc. to offer
pharmacy benefit management services to HMOs, third-party administrators, self-
insured companies and union trusts throughout the nation. Clients of
Prescription Solutions have access to a pharmacy provider network that features
independent and chain pharmacies, as well as a variety of cost and quality
management capabilities. The Company estimates that Prescription Solutions
currently represents more than two million lives.
PACIFICARE LIFE AND HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANY-SM- ("PLHIC"), formerly
Columbia General Life Insurance Company, is a health and life insurance company
incorporated in Indiana and licensed to operate in 37 states, including
California, Florida, Oklahoma, Oregon and Texas and in the District of Columbia.
The Company, through PLHIC, offers employer groups managed health care insurance
products which have been integrated with its existing HMO products to form
multi-option health benefits programs.
LIFELINK-SM-, INC. ("LifeLink") is licensed by the California Department of

Behavioral Health, Inc. contracts with various HMOs, insurers and employers to
manage their respective mental health and chemical dependency benefit programs.
CALIFORNIA DENTAL HEALTH PLAN, INC. ("CDHP") and Dental Plan
Administrators, an affiliated company ("DPA"), were acquired in November 1993 by
the Company. CDHP is a specialized health care service plan which provides
prepaid dental and optometric benefits for individuals, including members of
PacifiCare's California commercial and Secure Horizons programs, and employer
groups. DPA is an affiliated company of CDHP that provides administrative
services to CDHP and other companies. The Company will offer CDHP dental and
vision plans to its clients in connection with its California commercial and
government programs. CDHP will continue to market independently of the Company
and to provide dental and vision benefits to its current members.
COVANTAGE, INC., formerly HMO National Network, Inc., began operations in
October 1990 to facilitate cooperative marketing and client support efforts
between HMOs nationwide. In addition, Covantage, Inc. provides centralized
marketing, billing and account servicing for multi-state employers who desire
the simplicity of contracting with national carriers.
PACIFICARE[REGISTERED TRADEMARK] MILITARY HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC. ("PMHS")
contracted with Administrator Defense Services, Inc. ("Administrator"), formerly

900,000 beneficiaries, a portion of whom will be provided services by PMHS.
PMHS is currently pursuing contracts in other geographical areas.
COMPREMIER-SM-, INC. ("COMPREMIER") was formed to implement a workers'
compensation product designed to help control the high healthcare costs related
to workers' compensation cases. COMPREMIER is licensed to operate in Los
Angeles and Orange Counties, California and arranges workers' compensation
health care services in exchange for a capitated fee in conjunction with
self-insured companies and workers' compensation insurance carriers. After an
initial phase-in period, it is expected that the Company will expand COMPREMIER
in California and other states.
PACIFICARE WELLNESS COMPANY ("PacifiCare Wellness"), formerly Execu-
Fit[REGISTERED TRADEMARK] Health Programs, Inc., is a health promotion company
which provides work-site wellness and health education programs to corporate
clients throughout the United States with primary emphasis in California.
Founded in 1984 and acquired by the Company in August 1991, PacifiCare Wellness'
systematic approach to improving employee health includes medical fitness
screenings, individualized health appraisals, wellness education seminars and
health enhancement courses for the purpose of reducing employers' health care
costs, increasing productivity and reducing absenteeism.
TRADEMARKS
The federally registered service marks PacifiCare[REGISTERED TRADEMARK] and
Secure Horizons[REGISTERED TRADEMARK] are owned by the Company and are material
to its business.
COMPETITION
The health care industry is highly competitive. The Company has many
competitors, including insurance carriers, other HMOs, employer self-funded
programs and PPOs, many of which have substantially larger enrollments or
greater financial resources than the Company. The California market, the
largest market in which the Company competes, is served by a large number of
HMOs and is one of the most heavily penetrated markets in the United States.
Competition for members in the Company's markets has resulted in an
increase in benefits and price competition. The Company believes that the most
significant factors which distinguish competing health plans, including other
HMOs, are health care costs to members and employers, accessibility to health
care providers, quality of care and comprehensiveness of coverage.
The Company's ability to expand its operations is dependent, in part, on
its ability to secure contracts with additional acceptable physician groups or
to ensure that existing providers expand their operations. Achieving such
objectives with physician groups is becoming more difficult due to increasing
competition. Competitive factors include membership volume, fees and
incentives, and administrative service capabilities. For a discussion of
incentives offered by the Company to providers, see "Provider Arrangements."
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The Company's HMOs are licensed and subject to periodic examination by
governmental agencies and are subject to state and federal statutes and
regulations which extensively regulate the activities and licensing of HMOs.
Among the areas regulated by state and federal law are procedures for quality
assurance, enrollment requirements, the relationship between the HMO and its
health care providers and the HMO's financial condition. To remain licensed, it
may be necessary for the Company's HMOs to make changes from time to time in
their services, procedures, structure and marketing methods. Such changes may
be required as a result of amendments to, or other significant modifications of,
federal and state laws and regulations controlling the Company's HMO operations.
The Company's HMOs, which are operated as subsidiaries of the Company, are
subject to state regulations which require periodic financial reports from HMOs
licensed to operate in their state and, in certain cases, impose minimum equity,
capital, deposit and/or reserve requirements. Certain federal and/or state
regulatory agencies also require the Company's HMOs to maintain restricted cash
reserves represented by interest-bearing instruments which are held by trustees
or state regulatory agencies. These requirements, which limit the ability of
the Company's subsidiaries to transfer
9
<PAGE>
funds to the Company, may limit the ability of the Company to pay dividends.
From time to time, the Company advances funds, in the form of a loan, to its
subsidiaries in order to assist them in satisfying federal or state financial
requirements.
One of the most significant federal laws affecting the Company is the HMO
Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder by the Secretary of Health and
Human Services. Among other things, the HMO Act requires federally qualified
HMOs to offer a comprehensive benefit program and to have quality assurance and
educational programs for both the health care professional utilized by the HMO
and its members. Only HMOs that continue to meet federal criteria may retain
their qualified status. HCFA requires periodic financial reports from qualified
HMOs and imposes net equity, net profitability (or a plan to achieve a net
operating profit within available financial resources), reserve and cash flow
requirements. The Company's HMO operations, except for its Washington and
Florida HMOs and portions of its California and Oklahoma HMO service areas, are
federally qualified. HCFA requires that an HMO be federally qualified or meet
similar requirements; therefore, the lack of federal qualification does not
substantially impact the operations of the Company's HMO subsidiaries or their
ability to offer the Company's Medicare risk program.
In the past, federally qualified HMOs were required to set their premiums
according to principles of "community rating," as established by federal
statutes and regulations. Essentially, community rating required that an HMO's
premium rates not vary from employer group to employer group on the basis of
health services utilization experience. The HMO Act currently allows HMOs more
flexibility in setting rates for specific employer groups based upon a
comparison of a specific employer group's utilization and the premiums required
to profitably provide health care benefits.
If the Company acquires or establishes HMOs in states where it does not
presently operate, it will have to comply with the applicable state statutes.
The time necessary to obtain a license or to comply with state statutes varies
from state to state.
The Company's Secure Horizons programs provide services under contracts
with HCFA and are subject to regulation by HCFA and various state agencies.
HCFA requires that an HMO be federally qualified or meet similar requirements as
a competitive medical plan in order to be eligible for Medicare fixed-fee-per-
member contracts. As a result of HCFA's regulations governing the Company's
Medicare fixed-fee-per-member programs, the "medical loss ratio" (health care
expenses as a percentage of premium revenue), as determined prospectively
through formulas established by HCFA for the Company's Medicare contracts in a
particular region, may not be less than the medical loss ratio for the Company's
non-Medicare contracts in such region. If the Company were to fall out of
compliance with these regulations it would have to provide additional benefits
or reduced premiums to its Medicare members, or accept a lower payment from
HCFA, in order to increase the medical loss ratio for the Medicare contracts to
the level of the medical loss ratio for the non-Medicare contracts. This
regulation could affect the operations, profitability or business prospects of
the Company.
The federal and state statutes and regulations that govern the Company's
HMOs are subject to change. Although the Company intends to maintain its HMOs'
federal qualifications, state licenses and Medicare contracts, there can be no
assurance that it can do so.
As a result of the continued escalation of health care costs and the
inability of many individuals to obtain health care insurance, numerous
proposals relating to health care reform have been, and additional proposals may
be introduced in the United States Congress and the legislatures of the states
in which the Company operates or may seek to operate. The Company cannot
predict what effect, if any, yet to be enacted health care legislation or
proposals will have on the Company if, and when enacted. The Company believes
that the current political environment in which it operates will result in
continued legislative scrutiny of health care reform and may lead to additional
legislative initiatives. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact
upon the Company of any federal or state restructuring of the health care
delivery or health care financing systems, but such changes could have a
material adverse impact on the operations, financial condition and prospects of
the Company.
In July 1993, the California legislature passed, and the Governor signed, a
comprehensive workers' compensation reform package, consisting of seven pieces
of legislation. Some of the enacted legislation took effect immediately, while
a portion became effective on January 1, 1994 and the remainder becomes
effective on January 1, 1995. The reform package is intended to result in lower
insurance premiums to employers and increased benefits to injured workers
through changes aimed at controlling the substantial cost, reducing
inefficiencies and eliminating certain abusive practices in the workers'
compensation system. Specifically, the reform legislation includes provisions
which will affect insurance rates paid by employers, benefits payable to
disabled workers, the control of medical treatment and employer health plans
relating to workplace injuries and the claims and appeals process for
compensation awards.
10
<PAGE>
Legislation has become effective in California that requires all HMOs and
insurers which offer coverage to small employers (defined as groups with four to
50 employees) to guarantee coverage to their employees seeking coverage
regardless of their health status. The legislation also requires renewal of
these small group employer plans, limits rate renewal increases, mandates
community rating and excludes coverage of pre-existing conditions for six months
after enrollment. In addition, the legislation requires HMOs and insurers that
offer coverage to small employers to accept all small employers who apply for
coverage. The Company has in the past considered the health status of all
potential enrollees in groups consisting of three to 25 enrollees when
determining whether to offer coverage to such groups.
EMPLOYEES
As of September 30, 1994, the Company had 3,856 full and part-time
employees. None of the Company's employees are presently covered by a
collective bargaining agreement and the Company has not experienced any work
stoppage since its organization. The Company considers its relations with its
employees to be good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
As of September 30, 1994 the Company had leases, in the aggregate, for
approximately 760,000 square feet of office space for its corporate
headquarters, executive offices, regional offices and subsidiary operations in
California, Florida, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Washington. Of this aggregate
amount, the Company had leases for its corporate headquarters and executive
offices of approximately 105,000 square feet in Cypress, California.
The Company owns an office building of approximately 200,000 square feet on
approximately 9.2 acres of land in Cypress, California which serves as the
executive and administrative offices of its California HMO operation. The
Company also owns a fifty percent interest in a parcel of undeveloped land of
approximately 8.5 acres in Cypress, California. Additionally, the Company owns
a child care facility on one acre of land in Cypress, California and an office
building on 1.4 acres on land in Tustin, California.
The Company considers its facilities to be in good working condition, well
maintained and adequate for its present needs.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is involved in legal actions in the normal course of business,
some of which seek substantial monetary damages, including claims of punitive
damages which are not covered by insurance. After review, including
consultation with counsel, management believes any ultimate liability in excess
of amounts accrued which could arise from the actions would not materially
affect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the three
months ended September 30, 1994.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FISCAL YEAR 1994 COMPARED WITH FISCAL YEAR 1993
Total operating revenue increased 30 percent or $672 million to $2.9
billion for the year ended September 30, 1994 from $2.2 billion for the same
period in the prior year. Enrollment gains in both the government (Medicare and
Medicaid) and commercial programs provided an increase in total operating
revenue of $451 million, while an additional $77 million was derived from higher
premium rates in both programs. In addition, approximately $106 million of the
increase in total operating revenue represents the incremental operations of
acquisitions described in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. The Company's specialty managed care products and services and its
joint venture medical groups contributed the remainder of the increase.
Commercial premiums increased $191 million to $1.2 billion for the year
ended September 30, 1994 from $1 billion in the prior year. Excluding the
effects of acquisitions described above, membership growth provided 46 percent
of the increase in the commercial HMO program. An additional 21 percent of the
increase is attributable to higher premium rates, which rose an average of three
percent. Commercial HMO premium rates are expected to remain flat or decrease
slightly in the next enrollment period due to increasing competitive pressures
in the Company's markets. The remainder of the increase in commercial premiums
was derived from commercial specialty managed care products and services and
joint venture medical groups.
Government premiums rose $464 million to $1.6 billion for the year ended
September 30, 1994 from $1.2 billion in the prior year. Excluding the effects
of acquisitions described above, enrollment gains predominately in the Secure
Horizons program contributed 80 percent of this increase. Average premium rate
increases of two percent accounted for nine percent of the increase. The
remainder of the change is attributable to acquisitions. In September 1994, the
Company was advised by HCFA that effective January 1995, its HMOs will receive a
weighted average premium rate increase of approximately 5.4 percent.
Total health care service expenses as a percent of premium revenue (the
"medical loss ratio"; see Item 6. Selected Financial Data, page 13) for the
year ended September 30, 1994, have decreased to 83.1 percent from 84.1 percent
for the same period in the prior year. The commercial medical loss ratio
decreased to 80.5 percent from 82.5 percent while the government medical loss
ratio declined slightly to 85.2 percent from 85.6 percent. The Company expects
to experience upward pressure on the consolidated medical loss ratio into fiscal
1995. Because the government program has a higher medical loss ratio and
continues to grow at a faster rate than the commercial program, a higher
consolidated medical loss ratio is expected. In addition, pricing pressures are
expected to result in a higher commercial medical loss ratio. The government
medical loss ratio is expected to remain flat because premium increases are
expected to be offset by enhanced benefits and increased health care costs in
new geographic markets.
The decrease in the commercial medical loss ratio is primarily attributable
to lower inpatient hospital costs. The decrease in the government medical
loss ratio is primarily related to lower hospital expenses and increases in net
positive reserve adjustments described below.
The health care service expenses for the years ended September 30, 1994 and
1993, reflect the impact of net positive reserve adjustments of approximately $9
million and $6 million, respectively. These net positive reserve adjustments
result primarily from the periodic reconciliation of amounts reserved for
physician incentive programs and revised estimates for hospital services and
other health care costs which have been incurred but not yet reported. The
Company periodically makes adjustments to these estimated expenses based on
actual calculations and changed expectations. The $4 million increase in net
positive reserve adjustments is primarily attributable to increases in members
served under hospital capitation arrangements and improved contracting.
Commercial net positive reserve adjustments for each of the years ended
September 30, 1994 and 1993 totaled $4 million. Government net positive reserve
adjustments for year ended September 30, 1994 increased to $5 million compared
to $2 million for the same period in the prior year.
15
<PAGE>
Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $115 million to
$395 million for the year ended September 30, 1994 from $280 million for 1993.
As a percentage of operating revenue, marketing, general and administrative
expenses increased to 13.6 percent from 12.6 percent. These increases are
primarily attributable to higher costs related to developing markets, products
and services in new as well as established geographic areas and incremental
expenses to integrate acquisitions. Future marketing, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of operating revenue are expected to be
comparable or slightly less than the current year as the Company obtains
efficiency through process improvement.
Net interest income increased by approximately $3.5 million primarily due
to increased cash generated by operations and available for investment purposes
offset by interest expense from higher levels of borrowings made throughout the
year. Interest expense is expected to increase due to higher levels of
borrowings under new credit facilities (see Liquidity and Capital Resources).
For the year ended September 30, 1994, before the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle, earnings per share increased 34 percent to $3.02
compared to $2.25 for 1993. The increase is primarily related to membership
growth derived substantially from the government programs. Decreases in health
care service expenses were partially offset by increases in marketing, general
and administrative expenses. The results for the years ended September 30, 1994
and 1993 include approximately $0.18 and $0.12, respectively, related to the net
positive reserve adjustments previously described. Changes in income tax
accounting principles (see Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements) increased earnings per share by approximately $0.20, resulting in
earnings per share of $3.22 for the year ended September 30, 1994.
The Company's ability to expand is dependent, in part, on competitive
premium pricing and its ability to secure cost-effective contracts with
additional physicians or to ensure that existing physician groups expand their
operations to accommodate the Company's new HMO membership. Achieving such
objectives with physicians is becoming difficult due to increasing competition.
In addition, the Company's profitability is dependent, in part, on its ability
to maintain effective control over health care costs while providing members
with quality care. Factors such as health care reform, utilization, new
technologies, hospital costs, major epidemics, and numerous other external
influences may affect the Company's operating results. Accordingly, past
financial performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future
performance, and investors should not use historical records to anticipate
results or future period trends.
FISCAL YEAR 1993 COMPARED WITH FISCAL YEAR 1992
Total operating revenue increased 32 percent or $535 million to $2.2
billion for the year ended September 30, 1993 from $1.7 billion for the same
period in 1992. The Company's HMOs provided additional operating revenue of
$507 million through enrollment gains and higher premium rates. The remaining
$28 million increase was attributable to the amounts generated by the Company's
specialty managed care products and services and its joint venture medical
groups.
In the Company's HMOs, enrollment gains in both the commercial and
government programs provided an increase in total operating revenue of $345
million while an additional $143 million was derived from higher premium rates
for both programs. The government programs contributed 73 percent of the
increase in total operating revenue attributable to the Company's HMOs.
Approximately $29 million of the increase in operating revenue represents an
incremental two months of Health Plan of America's ("HPA") operations because a
full year of operations is included in 1993 versus ten months in 1992.
Commercial premiums increased $156 million to $1 billion for the year ended
September 30, 1993 from $890 million in the prior year. The effects of the HPA
acquisition, described above, and membership growth provided 62 percent of the
increase in the commercial program. The rate of commercial membership growth
improved slightly over the prior year due to our expansion of the Texas and
Oregon operations and continued California growth. Higher premium rates, which
rose an average of five percent, contributed 33 percent of the increase. The
remaining increase was attributable to specialty managed care products and
services revenue.
Government premiums increased $369 million to $1.2 billion for the year
ended September 30, 1993 from $785 million in the prior year. Enrollment gains
accounted for 75 percent of this increase. Average premium rate increases of
nine percent accounted for the remainder of the change.
16
<PAGE>
The medical loss ratio for the year ended September 30, 1993 increased to
84.1 percent from 83.2 percent for the prior year. The health care service
expenses for each of the years ended September 30, 1993 and 1992 reflected the
impact of net positive reserve adjustments of approximately $6 million
comparable to those in 1994 as described above. The commercial medical loss
ratio increased to 82.5 percent compared to a ratio of 80.2 percent in 1992
while the government medical loss ratio declined slightly to 85.6 percent from
86.6 percent.
The increase in the commercial medical loss ratio was primarily
attributable to increased hospital capitation and out-of-area emergency costs
related to the Company's HMOs. The increase in hospital capitation reflected
changes in the contractual relationship with providers. These increases were
partially offset by lower inpatient hospital costs, lower prescription drug
costs and higher premium revenue.
Government average premium rate increases of nine percent described above
were partially offset by increases in hospital capitation expenses and increased
benefits provided to members, including prescription drugs. These factors
resulted in a decrease in the medical loss ratio for the government program of
one percent for the year ended September 30, 1993.
Marketing, general and administrative expenses increased $50 million to
$280 million for the year ended September 30, 1993 from $230 million for 1992.
As a percentage of total operating revenue, marketing, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 12.6 percent in 1993 from 13.6 percent in
1992. This decrease was primarily attributable to increased operating revenue,
decreased consulting costs and a reduction in one-time costs of approximately $6
million related to the HPA integration included in 1992.
Earnings per share rose 26 percent to $2.25 for the year ended September
30, 1993 compared to $1.78 for 1992. Several factors contributed to the
increase in earnings per share. Premium increases and membership growth derived
substantially from the government program generated higher operating revenue. A
decrease in marketing, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
operating revenue was partially offset by an increase in the consolidated
medical loss ratio. The earnings per share for the years ended September 30,
1993 and 1992 included approximately $0.12 and $0.14, respectively, related to
net positive reserve adjustments previously described. The results for the year
ended September 30, 1993 also included the write-off of net intangible assets
which reduced earnings per share by approximately $0.03 (see Note 2d of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's working capital as of September 30, 1994 was $231 million, an
increase of $68 million from the prior year. The increase is primarily
attributable to borrowings of long-term debt of $82 million, discussed below,
and increases in cash generated from operations partially offset by acquisitions
made with cash. The total purchase price for completed acquisitions described
in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is expected to be
approximately $108 million, $88 million of which has been paid to date.
Completed acquisitions have been financed through the sale of certain of the
Company's investments in marketable securities and borrowings under its long
term line of credit. The remainder of the purchase price will be paid in
calendar year 1995 if certain contingent events occur.
Cash generated from operations increased by $153 million for the year ended
September 30, 1994 as compared to the prior year. The majority of this change
is the result of an increase of $151 million in unearned premium revenue which
occurred because the advance payment for Medicare premiums for October 1994 was
received in September 1994; whereas, in 1993, the October payment was received
in October 1993.
The decrease in the purchase of marketable securities by the Company is
related to the prior year investment of $61 million of offering proceeds
received in October 1992. The Company made capital expenditures of $29 million
for the year ended September 30, 1994, primarily for computer equipment. These
purchases were financed in part by borrowings under capital leases. The Company
anticipates that the level of capital expenditures will increase in fiscal year
1995 to support the redesign of information systems.
In January, 1994, the Company established a $130 million revolving line of
credit with The Chase Manhattan Bank and a syndicate of banks (see Note 6 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, page 28). The Company is currently
negotiating a $250 million revolving line of credit with Bank of America and a
syndicate of banks. Most of the
17
<PAGE>
banks in the current syndicate will participate in the new syndicate. The
Company anticipates that this new credit line will be in place by December 1994.
The Company believes that its current capital resources are adequate to fund its
existing HMO operations, the introduction of new products and services and the
continued development of its health care-related businesses. The Credit Line
enhances the Company's ability to introduce new products and services, expand
geographic markets and consummate acquisitions.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 115 on October 1, 1994. All current, unrestricted investments
in debt securities have been designated as "available-for-sale." Marketable
securities - restricted have been designated as "held to maturity" and continue
to be stated at amortized cost. The cumulative effect of this change in
accounting principle in the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 is a decrease to
marketable securities of $6.3 million, a decrease to shareholders' equity of
$3.8 million and an increase to deferred tax assets of $2.5 million.

</TABLE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. THE REPORTING ENTITY
a) Organization and Operations. PacifiCare Health Systems, Inc. (the
"Company") owns and operates federally qualified health maintenance
organizations ("HMOs"), which provide health care services principally for a
predetermined, prepaid periodic fee to enrolled subscriber groups through
independent health care organizations under contract. The Company also offers
certain specialty products and services to group purchasers and to other managed
care organizations and their beneficiaries, including Medicare risk management
services, pharmacy benefit management, military health care management,
coordination of managed care products for multi-region employers, health and
life insurance, behavioral health, workers' compensation, dental and vision
services and health promotion. UniHealth America ("UniHealth"), a California
non-profit public benefit corporation, owned approximately 48 and 21 percent of
the Company's outstanding shares of Class A and Class B Common Stock,
respectively, at September 30, 1994.
b) Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and all significant subsidiaries
which are more than 50 percent owned and controlled. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
24
<PAGE>
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Cash and Equivalents. Cash and equivalents are defined as cash, money
market funds and certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or
less.
b) Marketable Securities. Marketable securities comprise municipal bonds,
corporate notes, commercial paper and U.S. Treasury securities. These
investments are stated at amortized cost. The market value was $511.7 million
and $419.7 million, respectively at September 30, 1994 and 1993. Marketable
securities-restricted comprise U. S. Government securities and certificates of
deposit held by trustees or state regulatory agencies. These securities are
stated at amortized cost which approximates market value.
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. The statement addresses the
accounting and reporting for investments in equity and debt securities. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 115 on October 1, 1994. All current unrestricted
investments have been designated as "available for sale." Marketable
securities-restricted have been designated as held to maturity and continue to
be stated at amortized cost. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting
principle in the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 is a decrease to marketable
securities of $6.3 million, a decrease to shareholders' equity of $3.8 million
and an increase to deferred tax assets of $2.5 million.
c) Property, Plant and Equipment. Property, plant and equipment are
recorded at cost; replacements and major improvements are capitalized, while
repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. Upon sale or
retirement of property, plant and equipment, the costs and related accumulated
depreciation are eliminated from the accounts. Any resulting gains and losses
are included in the determination of net income.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line
method for financial reporting purposes over estimated useful lives ranging from
five to twenty-five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the
straight-line method over the term of the lease or ten years, whichever is
shorter.
d) Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill and intangible assets
represent principally the unamortized excess of the cost of acquiring subsidiary
companies over the fair values of such companies' net tangible assets at the
dates of acquisition. Goodwill and intangible assets are amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods not exceeding forty years. Net intangible
assets totaling $844,000 were written off in 1993, reducing earnings per share
by approximately $0.03. These assets, which were related to the Company's
health and life insurance subsidiary, were determined to have no continuing
value. As of September 30, 1994 and 1993, accumulated amortization totaled
$8,798,000 and $5,481,000, respectively.
e) Software Costs. Direct costs associated with the development of
computer software are expensed as incurred. These costs totaled $9,626,000,
$7,047,000 and $6,186,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
f) Premiums and Revenue Recognition. Prepaid health care premiums from
the Company's HMOs' enrolled groups are reported as revenue in the month in
which enrollees are entitled to receive health care. Premiums received prior to
such period are recorded as unearned premium revenue. Approximately 57 percent,
52 percent, and 47 percent of the Company's premium revenue in the years ended
September 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively, were derived from funds
received under the Federal Medicare program.
g) Health Care Services. The Company's HMOs arrange for comprehensive
health care services to their members principally through capitation, a fixed,
monthly payment made without regard to the frequency, extent or nature of the
health care services actually furnished. Benefits are provided to enrolled
members generally through the Company's contractual relationships with physician
groups and hospitals. The Company's contracted providers may, in turn, contract
with specialists or referral providers for specific services and are responsible
for any related payments to those referral providers.
The Company's HMOs have various programs that provide incentives to
participating medical groups through the use of risk-sharing agreements and
other programs. Payments are made to medical groups based on their performance
in controlling health care costs while providing quality health care. Expenses
related to these
25
<PAGE>
programs, which are based in part on estimates, are recorded in the period in
which the related services are dispensed.
The cost of health care provided is accrued in the period it is dispensed
to the enrolled members, based in part on estimates for hospital services and
other health care costs which have been incurred but not yet reported. The
Company has also recorded reserves, based in part on estimates, to indemnify its
members against potential referral claims related to insolvent medical groups.
The Company's HMOs have stop-loss insurance to cover unusually high costs of
care when incurred beyond a predetermined annual amount per enrollee.
h) Utilization Review and Case Management Services. The Company's HMOs
conduct utilization review and case management programs to ensure that their
providers deliver a consistent quality of care to members. The utilization
review program essentially provides patients with second opinions, while the
case management program assigns nurses to complicated, high-risk or chronic
cases to evaluate and recommend treatment options to the patient and provider.
The costs associated with providing these medical services are recorded in
general and administrative expenses and totaled $10,856,000, $8,897,000 and
$6,999,000 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.
i) Earnings Per Share. Earnings per share are computed on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding each year. Outstanding stock
options are common stock equivalents and are included in earnings per share
computations.
j) Taxes Based on Premiums and Income. Certain states in which the
Company does business require the remittance of excise, per capita or premium
taxes based upon a specified rate for enrolled members or a percentage of billed
premiums. Such taxes may be levied in lieu of a state income tax. These
amounts are recorded in general and administrative expenses and totaled
$4,033,000, $3,261,000 and $2,808,000 for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992.
As of October 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR
INCOME TAXES and recorded a benefit for the cumulative effect prior to October
1, 1993 of the change in accounting principle of $5,658,000 or approximately
$0.20 per share. SFAS No. 109 is an asset and liability approach that requires
the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future
tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial
statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, SFAS No. 109
generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes
in the tax law or rates. Previously, the Company used the SFAS No. 96 asset and
liability approach that gave no recognition to future events other than the
recovery of assets and settlement of liabilities at their carrying amounts. As
permitted by SFAS No. 109, the Company has elected not to restate the financial
statements of any prior years.

5. ACQUISITIONS
The Company completed several acquisitions during the year ended September
30, 1994. In October 1993, the Company acquired certain assets including
approximately 14,000 members from Freedom Plan, Inc. In November 1993, the
Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each of
California Dental Health Plan, Inc. ("CDHP") and Dental Plan Administrators
("DPA"). CDHP is a licensed provider of prepaid dental and optometric benefits
for individuals and groups, and DPA is an affiliated company of CDHP that
provides administrative services to CDHP and other companies. In December 1993,
the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
Advantage Health Plans, Inc., a Miami-based HMO with approximately 20,000
members. In February 1994, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of Preferred Health Resources, Inc. ("PHRI"), a
Seattle-based corporation. PHRI owns all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Network Health Plan, Inc., a Seattle-based health care services
contractor with approximately 28,000 members, and Network Management
Incorporated, an affiliated company that provides administrative services to the
health plan and other companies. In September 1994, the Company acquired all of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of Pasteur Health Plans, Inc. ("PHP"),
Pasteur Delivery Systems, Inc. ("PDS") and Interstate Medical Equipment, Inc.
("IME"). PHP is a Miami-based HMO with approximately 50,000 members. PDS and
IME are affiliated companies of PHP that provide medical and administrative
services to PHP and other companies.
The total purchase price for these acquisitions is expected to be
approximately $108 million. Of the total purchase price, $88 million has been
paid to date. The contingent purchase payments for these acquisitions will be
paid in 1995 if certain events occur. Based on the fair values of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with these acquisitions, the
preliminary estimate of excess purchase price is approximately $91 million. A
final allocation of purchase price will be determined when appraisals and other
studies are completed and contingent purchase payments are determined. The
transactions have been accounted for as purchases and the operating results of
each completed acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements
from the date of purchase. Amortization of the excess purchase price is made
over a period not to exceed forty years.
The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma consolidated results
of the Company as though the completed acquisitions occurred at the beginning of
the periods presented giving effect to the interest income foregone, the costs
associated with the integration of the operations into those of the Company and
the amortization of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
assets acquired. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily
indicative of the actual consolidated results of operations that would have
occurred had the completed acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the period
and is not intended to be indicative of results which may occur in the future.

In January 1994, the Company established with The Chase Manhattan Bank
("Chase") and a syndicate of banks, a $130 million revolving line of credit (the
"Credit Line"). The Company has and will continue to borrow under the Credit
Line during a one-year period commencing January 1994, after which any amount
outstanding will be converted into a two year term loan. Interest will be paid
over the three year period at a rate per annum equal to the London Interbank
Offered Rate plus a spread ranging from 0.3125 percent to 0.6250 percent or the
prime rate. At September 30, 1994, the weighted average interest rate was 5.33
percent. Certain subsidiaries guarantee the Credit Line to the extent permitted
by regulatory authorities. Advances have been classified as long-term debt
because of the Credit Line's conversion feature.
Both the debt agreement for $15 million of 8.80 percent privately placed
senior debt and the Credit Line include financial covenants requiring a minimum
consolidated net worth, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum
leverage ratio. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company
for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the aggregate fair value
of the Credit Line and 8.80 percent privately placed senior debt is
approximately $98 million.
The Company is currently negotiating a $250 million revolving line of
credit with Bank of America and a syndicate of banks. Most of the banks in the
current syndicate will participate in the new syndicate. The Company
anticipates that this new credit line will be in place by December 1994.

Capitalized leases relate to equipment included in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets at a cost of $17,526,000 and $13,257,000 at
September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Accumulated amortization related to
this equipment totaled $8,188,000 and $3,368,000 at September 30, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. These leases require future payments including interest totaling
$10,130,000 at September 30, 1994 through the end of the lease terms.
7. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
In September 1994, the Company commenced a public offering of 750,000
shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock to certain physicians groups (the
"Groups") which currently contract with the Company. If a Group agrees to
purchase shares in this offering, it will enter into an agreement whereby it
will be irrevocably obligated to purchase a fixed number of shares of the Class
B Common Stock at a fixed price payable over a five year period beginning May 1,
1996. To date, the Company has not entered into any agreements with any of the
Groups to sell shares under this offering.
On February 23, 1993, the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of a
total of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock in the open
market subject to market conditions; such shares are to be retired upon
purchase. This program was formally terminated by the Board of Directors of the
Company on April 28, 1994. Through that date, the Company had purchased and
retired 295,700 shares at an average price of $31.29 per share.
In November 1992, the Company completed a public offering of 3,200,000
shares of Class B Common Stock, of which 1,600,000 shares were sold by the
Company and 1,600,000 shares were sold by UniHealth. The net proceeds received
by the Company from the sale of the 1,600,000 shares of Class B Common Stock
offered by the Company were approximately $59 million after deducting
underwriting discounts and commissions, and expenses of the offering
In July 1992, the Company completed a public offering of 3,450,000 shares
of Class B Common Stock, of which 1,725,000 shares were sold by the Company and
1,725,000 shares were sold by UniHealth. The net proceeds received by the
Company from the sale of the 1,725,000 shares of Class B Common Stock offered by
the Company were approximately $38 million after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and expenses of the offering.
On June 4, 1992, the shareholders of the Company approved an Amendment (the
"Reclassification Amendment") to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended. The Reclassification Amendment: (a) reclassified the existing common
stock as Class A Common Stock; (b) authorized a new class of non-voting common
stock designated as non-voting Class B Common Stock (the Class A Common Stock
together with the Class B Common Stock shall hereinafter be referred to as the
"Common Stock"); (c) increased the total number of authorized shares of Common
Stock from 20 million to 90 million, consisting of 30 million shares of Class A
Common Stock and 60 million shares of Class B Common Stock; (d) established the
rights, powers and limitations of both classes of common stock; and (e) reduced
the par value of the Common Stock from $0.50 per share to $0.01 per share.
29
<PAGE>
In connection with the Reclassification Amendment, the Company declared a
stock dividend to holders of record of the Class A Common Stock on June 5, 1992,
payable on June 10, 1992, consisting of one share of Class B Common Stock for
each share of Class A Common Stock then outstanding. The stock dividend had the
same effect on the total number of shares of common stock and equivalents
outstanding as a two-for-one stock split. All earnings per share calculations,
as well as share and per share data, have been adjusted to reflect the stock
split on a retroactive basis.
8. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
The Company purchased health care services from hospitals owned and managed
by UniHealth totaling $61,497,000, $55,482,000 and, $30,160,000 for the years

corporation, which is a partner of the law firm of Konowiecki & Rank. The
Company purchased legal services from Konowiecki & Rank in the amounts of
$3,137,888, $2,251,000 and $2,397,000 for the years ended September 30, 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively. The amounts payable to Konowiecki & Rank at
September 30, 1994 and 1993 were $248,000 and $151,000, respectively.
9. INCOME TAXES
Effective October 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes from the deferred method to the liability method required by FASB
Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (See Note 2j - "Taxes Based on
Premiums and Income"). As permitted under the new rules, prior years' financial
statements have not been restated.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components
of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

10. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
a) Savings and Profit-Sharing Plan. The Company has an employee profit-
sharing plan covering substantially all full-time employees, which provides for
annual contributions by the Company of two percent of the annual compensation of
employees and additional amounts determined by the Board of Directors which are
generally
31
<PAGE>
based upon a percentage of pretax income. Employees may defer up to twelve
percent of their annual compensation under the Plan, with the Company matching
one half of the deferred amount, up to a maximum of three percent of annual
compensation. Amounts charged to expense applicable to the plan were
$10,298,000, $7,774,000 and $4,908,000 for the years ended September 30, 1994,
1993 and 1992, respectively.
b) Stock Option Plans. The Company has granted stock options for
employees and Directors under various plans including the Stock Option Plan for
Executive and Key Employees, as amended (the "1985 Plan"), the Amended and
Restated 1989 Stock Option Plan for Officers and Key Employees, as amended (the
"1989 Employee Plan"), the 1989 Non-Officer Directors Stock Option Plan (the
"1989 Director Plan") and the 1992 Non-Officer Directors Stock Option Plan (the
"1992 Director Plan").
Grants under the 1985 Plan and 1989 Director Plan were suspended. The
total number of shares of common stock which may be granted as incentive stock
options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and stock
payments ("Awards") under the 1989 Employee Plan is up to (i) 805,558 shares for
Awards granted prior to October 1, 1992 and (ii) one and one-half percent of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company as of the last day of the
previous fiscal year for Awards granted each fiscal year on and after October 1,
1992. Options may be granted for a term of up to ten years at a price not less
than 100 percent of the fair market value of the common shares at the time of
grant.
The 1992 Director Plan provides for a maximum of 140,000 shares of Class B
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of non-qualified stock options granted
to eligible non-officer Directors of the Company. Any non-officer Director of
the Company not eligible to receive options under the 1989 Employee Plan shall
be eligible to receive options under the 1992 Director Plan.
The following table summarizes the activity in non-qualified stock options
under the 1985 Plan, the 1989 Employee Plan, the 1989 Director Plan and the 1992
Director Plan for the years ended September 30, 1994 and 1993:

</TABLE>
At September 30, 1994, approximately 1,756,000 shares were reserved for
issuance upon the exercise of outstanding options. As of that date, 418,084
options were exercisable for Class A shares at an exercise price of $1.63 -
$19.75 per share and 485,705 options were exercisable for Class B shares at an
exercise price of $1.63 - $44.75. No stock appreciation rights have been
awarded under the 1989 Employee Plan.
c) Performance Incentive Programs. The Company has a long-term
performance incentive program administered by a subcommittee of the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee"). Under the terms of the
program, all Executive Officers (as defined in Rule 3b-7 of the Exchange Act) of
the Company and certain officers and key employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries are eligible for participation. Incentive compensation is based on
the achievement of objectives established by the Committee and approved by the
shareholders of the Company. The performance objectives are based on increases
in shareholders' equity and increases in the revenue of non-core businesses,
measured over a three-year period. A minimum target for return on equity must
be achieved before the measurement for increasing revenue may be applied. A new
three-year performance period commences annually and minimum and maximum targets
for each measurement objective vary for each performance cycle. Except for
Executive Officers, at the end of each performance period, the
32
<PAGE>
committee may adjust individual awards to reflect an overall evaluation of
performance. For fiscal years ended September 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992, the
incentive compensation expense for this program was $2,500,000, $1,854,000 and
$3,600,000, respectively.
The Company also has an annual incentive compensation program. All
Executive Officers of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company are eligible
to participate and any officer or full-time employee of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company, determined by the Committee to have a direct,
significant and measurable impact on the attainment of the Company's or
subsidiary's annual growth and profitability objectives is eligible to
participate. Within these parameters, the Committee has total discretion over
which participants are eligible to receive awards. Incentive compensation is
based on the achievement of objectives established by the Committee and approved
by the shareholders of the Company. Performance objectives are based on
earnings per share. The Committee may make additional awards to participants
who are determined by the Committee to have positively impacted directly on the
attainment of the performance objectives established by the Committee. Amounts
charged to expense for such programs were $7,048,000, $2,229,000 and $7,400,000
for the years ended September 30, 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
a) Lease Commitments. The Company leases office space under various non-
cancelable operating leases. Rental expense for the years ended September 30,
1994, 1993 and 1992 totaled $10,170,000, $8,140,000 and $7,269,000,
respectively. Future minimum lease payments under operating leases at September
30, 1994 are as follows:

</TABLE>
b) Employment Agreements. The Company has entered into an employment
agreement with the Chairman, the President of the Company and four other
officers. The agreements contain provisions that would entitle each to receive
severance benefits which are payable if employment is terminated for various
reasons, including termination following a change of ownership or control of the
Company as defined by the agreements. The maximum contingent liability for
severance payments that the Company would be required to make under the
employment agreements (excluding amounts which may be payable under incentive
plans and the value of certain benefits) would be approximately $3,400,000 at
September 30, 1994.
c) Litigation. The Company is involved in legal actions in the normal
course of business, some of which seek substantial monetary damages, including
claims for punitive damages which are not covered by insurance. After review,
including consultation with counsel, management believes any ultimate liability
in excess of amounts accrued which could arise from the actions would not
materially affect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
12. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk consist primarily of short-term investments in marketable
securities and commercial premiums receivable. The Company's short-term
investments in marketable securities are managed by professional investment
managers within guidelines established by the Board of Directors, which, as a
matter of policy, limit the amounts which may be invested in any one issuer.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to commercial premiums receivable are
limited due to the large number of employer groups comprising the Company's
customer base. As of September 30, 1994, the Company had no significant
concentrations of credit risk.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
PacifiCare Health Systems, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of PacifiCare
Health Systems, Inc. as of September 30, 1994 and 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1994. Our audits also
included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 14(a)(2).
These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
PacifiCare Health Systems, Inc. as of September 30, 1994 and 1993, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended September 30, 1994 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the
information set forth therein.

of Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware.
Section 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation may also have offices at such
other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of
Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may
require.
ARTICLE II
MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
Section 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of the stockholders shall be
held in the City of Cypress, State of California, at such place as may be fixed
from time to time by the Board of Directors, or at such other place either
within or without the State of Delaware as shall be designated from time to time
by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.
Section 2. ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS. The annual meeting of
stockholders shall be held each year on the first Tuesday in November, if not a
legal holiday, and if a legal holiday, then on the next secular day following,
at 10:00 a.m. or at such other date and time as may be determined from time to
time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, when they shall elect by a
plurality vote a Board of Directors, and transact such other business as may
properly be brought before the meeting. At each annual meeting Directors shall
be elected and any other proper business may be transacted.
Section 3. QUORUM; ADJOURNED MEETINGS AND NOTICE THEREOF. A majority of
the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at any meeting of
stockholders, the holders of which are present in person or represented by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business except as
otherwise provided by law, by the Certificate of Incorporation, or by these By-
Laws. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of
enough votes to leave less than a quorum and the votes present may continue to
transact business until adjournment. If, however, such quorum shall not be
present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, a majority of the
voting stock represented in person or by proxy may adjourn the
-2-
<PAGE>
meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the
meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned
meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the
adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of
the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to
vote thereat.
Section 4. VOTING. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of
the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or
represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting,
unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes, or
the Certificate of Incorporation, or these By-Laws, a different vote is required
in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of
such question.
Section 5. PROXIES. At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder
having the right to vote may vote in person or may authorize another person or
persons to act for him by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed
by such stockholder and bearing a date not more than three years prior to said
meeting, unless said instrument provides for a longer period. All proxies must
be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at the beginning of each meeting
in order to be counted in any vote at the meeting. Each stockholder shall have
one vote for each share of stock having voting power, registered in his name on
the books of the Corporation on the record date set by the Board of Directors as
provided in Article V, Section 6 hereof. All elections shall be had and all
questions decided by a plurality vote.
Section 6. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the stockholders, for
any purpose, or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the
Certificate of Incorporation, may be called by the President and shall be called
by the President or the Secretary at the request in writing of a majority of the
Board of Directors, or at the request in writing of stockholders owning a
majority in amount of the entire capital stock of the Corporation issued and
outstanding, and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or
purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of
stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
Section 7. NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS' MEETINGS. Whenever stockholders are
required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the
meeting shall be given which notice shall state the place, date and hour of the
meeting, and,
-3-
<PAGE>
in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting
is called. The written notice of any meeting shall be given to each stockholder
entitled to vote at such meeting not less than ten nor more than sixty days
before the date of the meeting. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in
the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his
address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.
Section 8. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION OF STOCKHOLDER LIST. The officer
who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at
least ten days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order,
and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered
in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of
any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary
business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either
at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be
specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place
where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at
the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be
inspected by any stockholder who is present.
Section 9. STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING.
Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action
required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting
of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and
without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken,
shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the
minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action
at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and
voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by
less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who
have not consented in writing.
ARTICLE III
DIRECTORS
Section 1. NUMBER AND QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS. The number of Directors
which shall constitute the whole Board shall be not less than five (5) nor more
than nine (9). The first Board shall consist of seven (7). The Directors need
not be stockholders. The Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of
the stockholders, except as provided in Section 2 of this Article, and each
Director elected shall hold office until
-4-
<PAGE>
his successor is elected and qualified; provided, however, that unless otherwise
restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Law, any Director or the
entire Board of Directors may be removed, either with or without cause, from the
Board of Directors at any meeting of stockholders by a majority of the stock
represented and entitled to vote thereat.
Section 2. VACANCIES. Vacancies on the Board of Directors by reason of
death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office, or
otherwise, and newly created Directorships resulting from any increase in the
authorized number of Directors may be filled by a majority of the Directors then
in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining Director. The
Directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election of
Directors and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless
sooner displaced. If there are no Directors in office, then an election of
Directors may be held in the manner provided by statute. If, at the time of
filling any vacancy or any newly created Directorship, the Directors then in
office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole Board (as constituted
immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon
application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent of
the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote
for such Directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such
vacancies or newly created Directorships, or to replace the Directors chosen by
the Directors then in office.
Section 3. POWERS. The property and business of the Corporation shall be
managed by or under the direction of its Board of Directors. In addition to the
power and authorities by these By-Laws expressly conferred upon them, the Board
may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all lawful acts and
things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these
By-Laws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.
Section 4. PLACE OF DIRECTORS' MEETINGS. The Directors may hold their
meetings and have one or more offices, and keep the books of the Corporation
outside of the State of Delaware.
Section 5. REGULAR MEETINGS. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors
may be held without notice at such time and place as shall from time to time be
determined by the Board.
Section 6. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board of Directors
may be called by the President on forty-eight hours' notice to each Director,
either personally or by mail or by telegram; special meetings shall be called by
the President or the Secretary in like manner and on like notice on the written
-5-
<PAGE>
request of two Directors unless the Board consists of only one Director; in
which case special meetings shall be called by the President or Secretary in
like manner or on like notice on the written request of the sole Director.
Section 7. QUORUM. At all meetings of the Board of Directors a majority
of the authorized number of Directors shall be necessary and sufficient to
constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority
of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum, shall be the
act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided
by statute, by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws. If a
quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors the
Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without
notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.
If only one Director is authorized, such sole Director shall constitute a
quorum.
Section 8. ACTION WITHOUT MEETING. Unless otherwise restricted by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any Committee thereof
may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or Committee, as the
case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed
with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or Committee.
Section 9. TELEPHONIC MEETINGS. Unless otherwise restricted by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, members of the Board of
Directors, or any Committee designated by the Board of Directors, may
participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors, or any Committee, by means
of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which
all persons participating in the meetings can hear each other, and such
participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
Section 10. COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors may, by
resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more
Committees, each such Committee to consist of one or more of the Directors of
the Corporation. The Board may designate one or more Director(s) as alternate
members of any Committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at
any meeting of the Committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of
a Committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not
disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may
unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the
meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such
Committee, to the extent provided
-6-
<PAGE>
in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the
powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business
and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to
be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such Committee shall have
the power or authority in reference to amending the Certificate of
Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to
the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the
Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a
dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending the
By-Laws of the Corporation; and, unless the resolution or the Certificate of
Incorporation expressly so provide, no such Committee shall have the power or
authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock.
Section 11. MINUTES OF COMMITTEE MEETINGS. Each Committee shall keep
regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors
when required.
Section 12. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS. Unless otherwise restricted by the
Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, the Board of Directors shall have
the authority to fix the compensation of Directors. The Directors may be paid
their expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors
and may be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board of
Directors or a stated salary as Director. No such payment shall preclude any
Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving
compensation therefor. Members of special or standing Committees may be allowed
like compensation for attending Committee meetings.
Section 13. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by
reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of
the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a
Director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonable
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceedings if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by
-7-
<PAGE>
judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did
not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct
was unlawful.
(b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party
or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in
its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee
or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Corporation and except that no such indemnification shall
be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall
have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance
of his duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such Court of Chancery or such
other court shall deem proper.
(c) To the extent that a Director, officer, employee or agent of the
Corporation, shall be successful on the merits or otherwise in defense, of any
action, suit or proceeding referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), or in defense
of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection therewith.
(d) Any indemnification under paragraphs (a) and (b) (unless ordered
by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific
case upon a determination that indemnification of the Director, officer,
employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b). Such
determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of
a quorum consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or
proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a
quorum of
-8-
<PAGE>
disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.
(e) Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit
or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition
of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in
the manner provided in paragraph (d) upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the Director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless
it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the
Corporation as authorized in this Section 13.
(f) The indemnification provided by this Section 13 shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled
under any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or
otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in
another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(g) The Board of Directors may authorize, by a vote of a majority of
a quorum of the Board of Directors, the Corporation to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or
agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation
as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another Corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as
such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him
against such liability under the provisions of this Section 13.
(h) For the purposes of this Section 13, references to "the
Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting Corporation, any
constituent Corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in
a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would
have had power and authority to indemnify its Directors, officers, and employees
or agents, so that any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or
agent of such constituent Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
such constituent Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of
another Corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Section with
respect to the resulting or surviving Corporation as he would have with respect
to such constituent Corporation if its separate existence had continued.
-9-
<PAGE>
(i) For purposes of this Section, references to "other enterprises"
shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any
excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and
references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include service
as a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such Director, officer, employee or agent
with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and
a person who acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in
the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan
shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of
the Corporation" as referred to in this Section.
ARTICLE IV

Section 1. OFFICERS. The officers of this Corporation shall be chosen by
the Board of Directors and shall include a President, a Secretary, and a
