Item 5.
- -------

Item 5 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows.

          As required by the Credit Agreement, the Company used the net proceeds
from the sale of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock to repay outstanding
borrowings thereunder. In connection therewith, NationsBank released to the
Company the 920,850 warrants to acquire shares of PHP Common Stock which were
held in escrow pending repayment of borrowings under the Credit Agreement. On
January 14, 1998, the Credit Agreement was amended to provide the Company with
$30,000,000 of availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. Among other
things, the amendment also decreased the Applicable Margin with respect to the
Revolving Credit Facility to 2.00% for Eurodollar Rate Advances and 1.00% for
Alternate Rate Advances until the Company delivers financial statements to the
Administrative Agent for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1998. Thereafter,
the Applicable Margin will be determined by the Leverage Ratio (as defined in
the Credit Agreement) as set forth below:

                    Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements


     Effective October 31, 1997, PHP Healthcare Corporation ("PHP" or the
"Company") acquired eighteen health centers located throughout the state of New
Jersey from HIP of New Jersey, Inc. ("HIPNJ"), a health maintenance
organization. The total purchase price of approximately $80 million, including
transaction costs and other consideration, was paid through a combination of
cash on hand and bank financing under a senior credit facility. The Company may
be required to pay HIP additional amounts based upon membership growth through
the year 2000, up to a total of $15 million. In conjunction with the purchase
agreement, the Company and HIPNJ entered into a twenty year Health Services
Agreement pursuant to which the Company will arrange for the provision of
certain health care services to enrolled HIPNJ beneficiaries in return for
global capitation payments. To enable the Company to provide health care
services as promptly as possible, the Company and HIPNJ also entered into a
Network Access Transition Agreement, whereby HIPNJ will pay the Company $5.4
million to perform various transition functions, and provide HIPNJ members 
access to the Company's health care network during the transition period.

     On December 30, 1997, PHP announced the completion of a private placement
of shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price of
$1,000 per share, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $70 million.
The proceeds of the offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under a
senior credit facility, to pay related expenses and for working capital.  The
senior credit facility was established to temporarily finance the Company's
acquisition of 18 health centers from HIP, although the Company intended to
obtain permanent financing through the issuance of bank debt or equity
securities.  The issuance cost under this temporary financing was approximately
$13 million.

     The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated, on an estimated basis, to the
acquired tangible ($15 million) and identifiable intangible ($65 million) assets
and assumed liabilities based on their respective estimated fair values.  The
identifiable intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods up to 20 years.

     The transaction was recorded in the Company's historical balance sheet on
October 31, 1997. The pro forma adjustments in the accompanying Pro Forma
Combined Balance Sheet as of October 31, 1997 gives effect to the issuance of
the $70 million Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the repayment of the
temporary bank financing under a senior credit facility.

     The accompanying Pro Forma Combined Statements of Operations for the year
ended April 30, 1997 and the six months ended October 31, 1997, give effect to
the transaction with HIPNJ completed on October 31, 1997 as if HIPNJ and the
effects of the Health Services Agreement occurred on May 1, 1996.

     The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the
results of operations which would have been attained had the transaction been
consummated on the date indicated or that which may be attained in the future.
The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with
the historical consolidated financial statements of PHP and HIPNJ.

                Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements
               for the Year Ended April 30, 1997 (unaudited) and
               the Six Months Ended October 31, 1997 (unaudited)


(1)  Revenue - Global Capitation

In conjunction with the purchase agreement, PHP and HIPNJ entered into a twenty
year Health Services Agreement pursuant to which PHP will provide certain health
care services to enrolled HIPNJ beneficiaries in return for a global capitation
payment to PHP.  Pursuant to the Health Services Agreement, PHP will receive
premium revenue, 100% of revenues generated in the health centers, including
optical and pharmacy revenues, and a portion of all Administrative Services Only
fees.  This pro forma adjustment is to eliminate the HIPNJ retained revenues.


(2)  Direct costs - Depreciation

The pro forma adjustment to direct costs represents a decrease to eliminate the
depreciation expense for the acquired leasehold improvements that HIPNJ
recognized and to eliminate goodwill amortization that will be retained by HIPNJ
($7,238 and $6,395 for the year ended April 30, 1997 and the six months ended
October 31, 1997, respectively). Additionally, the pro forma adjustment to
direct costs represents an increase in depreciation expense that would have been
recognized by PHP based upon the estimated useful lives of the acquired assets
and an increase to record goodwill purchased by PHP ($6,250 and $3,125 for the
year ended April 30, 1997 and the six months ended October 31, 1997,
respectively). This depreciation amount is based on an estimated blended rate
which approximates a period of five (5) years. The Company assesses the
recoverability of intangible assets by determining whether the balance can be
recovered through estimated undiscounted future operating cash flows.


(3)  Direct Costs - Labor Savings

The pro forma adjustment to direct costs represent eliminations of HIPNJ labor
cost which will not be incurred by PHP under the Health Services Agreement as a 
result of a reduction in the workforce.

(4)  General and Administrative - HIPNJ Retained Costs

Pursuant to the Health Services Agreement, HIPNJ will retain certain
administrative activities, including but not limited to marketing, regulatory 
relations, plan finance and certain member services. This pro forma adjustment
to general and administrative costs represents the elimination of these
administrative activities.


(5)  Health Center Closings

The pro forma adjustment to direct costs represent the elimination of certain
fixed costs as a result of two health center closings.


(6)  Interest Expense

The pro forma adjustment to interest expense represent the elimination of
certain interest costs which will be retained by HIPNJ.


(7)  Income Tax
   
The pro forma adjustment to income taxes represents the income tax benefit which
would result in applying the Company's historical tax base.


(8)  Deemed Dividend

The deemed dividend represents accretion of value of the beneficial conversion
feature (9% discount in twelfth month after issuance) on Series B Preferred 
Stock.

(9)  Additional Cost Reductions 

There are additional cost reductions in connection with the transaction relating
to recontracting provider agreements on a unit price basis which are not
reflected in the pro forma statements. The Company has estimated that if these
cost reductions were included, the reduction to medical expense (included in
direct costs) would be appoximately 20 million and $24.4 million on an annual
basis. Additional cost reductions are anticipated resulting from more effective
utilization efforts.

                        Report of Independent Auditors

Board of Trustees
HIP of New Jersey, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HIP of New 
Jersey, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and 
the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets, and
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements 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 HIP of 
New Jersey, Inc. and subsidiary at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the 
consolidated results of their operations and changes in net assets and their 
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying additional 
information is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a 
required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information has 
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the 
consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all 
material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements taken as 
a whole.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 1996 the Plan changed its
method of accounting for investments to conform with the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 124; and its method of accounting for 
surplus notes to conform with Accounting Standards Executive Committee Bulletin 
15.

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                               December 31, 1996


1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

HIP of New Jersey, Inc., currently d/b/a HIP Health Plan of New Jersey (the 
"Plan"), a New Jersey not-for-profit corporation, was organized as a Health 
Maintenance Organization ("HMO") in accordance with the provisions of the 
Federal Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973. The Plan is exempt from 
income taxes under Section 501(a) as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the 
Internal Revenue Code.

During 1996 and 1995, the Plan contracted with an independent medical group who 
provided medical care to most subscribers insured by the Plan. The operations of
the group, which is a professional corporation, are not consolidated with the 
Plan's financial statements. As of January 1, 1997, the Plan no longer contracts
with this medical group. In 1997, physician services will be provided under a 
variety of contractual relationships with independent physician groups, 
independent practice associations and directly contracted or employed 
physicians. The Plan's arrangements with Hospitals are primarily on a per diem 
reimbursement basis.

During 1995, the Plan purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of HIP-New Jersey 
Holdings, Inc. ("HIP Holdings"), a New Jersey holding corporation. HIP Holdings 
owns all of the outstanding stock of HIP Insurance Company of New Jersey, Inc. 
("HIPIC") and HIP PRO, Inc. ("HIPPRO"). HIPIC commenced operations during 1995. 
The purpose of obtaining an insurance license in the State of New Jersey was to
afford the organization the ability to offer a Point-of-Service product. HIPPRO
also commenced operations in 1995. HIPPRO is a state-certified Managed Care
Organization specializing in the treatment of worker's compensation injuries.
The financial statements of HIP Holdings for the years ending December 31, 1996
and 1995 have been consolidated and, accordingly, all appropriate intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.

The Plan is the sole member of HIP of Pennsylvania, Inc. ("HIPPA") a 
not-for-profit HMO located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The operations of 
HIPPA are not consolidated with the Plan's financial statements.

Summary of significant accounting policies is as follows:

   Accounting Pronouncements: Effective January 1, 1996, the Plan adopted the
   provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 124, Accounting
   for Certain Investments Held by Not-For-Profit Organizations ("SFAS 124").
   SFAS 124 establishes standards for accounting for certain investments held by
   not-for-profit organizations. It requires that investments in debt securities
   and equity securities with readily determinable fair values be reported at
   fair value with gains and losses included in the statement of operations and
   changes in net assets. The effect of this adoption has been recorded in the
   statement of operations and changes in net assets for the year ended December
   31, 1996 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
                                                                               
                                                                               6

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)



1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

  During 1996 the Plan also adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards
  Executive Committee Bulletin 15, which requires that surplus notes, which for
  statutory purposes are considered capital, to be reported as long-term debt.
  The plan adopted the provisions of this pronouncement effective January 1,
  1995 and has restated in 1995 balance sheet. The effect of this restatement
  was to increase long-term liabilities and decrease net assets by approximately
  $40.2 million.

  Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
  generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
  and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
  disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
  statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
  reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities: The Plan has a cash
  management program which provides for the investment of excess cash balances
  in financial instruments which are readily convertible to cash. The Plan
  invests its surplus operating funds in U.S. Government and agency obligations,
  debt securities and money market funds. Investments in money market funds are
  not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Investments which have
  maturities of one year or less from the date of purchase are considered cash
  equivalents. The Plan has determined that all investments reported in the
  balance sheets are considered other than trading securities. Investments in
  debt securities are measured at fair value in the balance sheets. Realized
  gains and losses on investments, interest and dividends are included in net
  income. Unrealized gains and losses on investments are included in other
  changes in unrestricted net assets.

  Other Current Assets: Other current assets include prepaid expenses for
  modified advance payments made to various health care providers in excess of
  the amounts which have been earned by the providers through the provision of
  health care services to subscribers.

  Building, Leasehold Improvements and Equipment: Building, leasehold
  improvements and equipment are stated on the basis of cost at the date of
  acquisition or purchase less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
  Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method over the
  estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on
  a straight-line basis over the shorter of the asset's estimated useful life or
  related lease term.

                                                                               7

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

  Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of goodwill recorded in
  connection with the purchase of all of the common stock of Rutgers Community
  Health Plan, Inc. ("RCHP") by Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York
  ("HIPNY") on July 5, 1989; goodwill recorded in the connection with the
  purchase of HIPPRO; and organizational costs incurred in connection with the
  organization of HIPIC. Goodwill related to RCHP is being amortized on a
  straight-line basis over ten years and goodwill related to HIPPRO is being
  amortized on a straight-line basis over a three-year period. The HIPIC
  organizational costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 
  three-year period. Accumulated amortization was approximately $2.1 million and
  $1.7 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

  Assets Whose Use is Limited: Under current New Jersey Department of Insurance
  Regulations, the Plan and HIPIC are required to maintain a minimum deposit of
  $300,000 and $100,000, respectively, with the Commissioner of Insurance of New
  Jersey. Funds are held primarily in U.S. Treasury notes and are recorded at
  fair value.

  Claim Payable: Claims payable represent the amount of payments to be made on
  individual claims which have been reported to the Plan as well as estimates of
  claims incurred which have not yet been reported as of the balance sheet date.
  Claims payable is estimated using various statistical methods that use both
  historical financial and operating data. Management believes that the claims
  payable liability is adequate to satisfy the ultimate claim liabilities. The
  estimates for claims payable are continually reviewed and adjusted as
  necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known. Such
  adjustments are included in current operations.

  Premiums Earned: Subscribers' premiums are recorded as income in the month for
  which subscribers are entitled to health care services. Premiums received in 
  advance are deferred to the period earned.

  Medicare and Medicaid Programs: The Plan participates in Medicare and medicaid
  HMO programs. Revenues from the Medicare and Medicaid programs accounted for
  approximately 23.2% and 13.2%, respectively, of the Plan's revenues for the
  year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. Under the Medicare cost based HMO Plan
  program, the Plan receives reimbursement of its costs, subject to audit, for
  medical treatment of Medicare enrollees under cost reimbursement contracts
  with the Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA"), a Federal Agency. The
  Plan has received final settlements

                                                                               8

  from HCFA for prior periods through December 31, 1990 related to RCHP and
  tentative settlements for periods through December 31, 1993 for the Plan.
  Differences between estimated amounts accrued and subsequent settlements are
  recorded during the year of settlement.

  Subscribers' Benefits: The Plan compensates providers on a capitation, 
  fee-for-service and on a contracted basis. Operating expenses includes all
  amounts incurred by the Plan under the aforementioned arrangements. The cost
  of health care services provided or contracted for is accrued in the period in
  which it is provided to a member based in part on estimates, including an
  accrual for medical services incurred but not reported to the Plan (see Claims
  Payable).

  Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are charged to operations when the
  advertising first takes place. Advertising costs charged to operations were
  $3.8 million and $3.2 million for the years 1996 and 1995, respectively.

  Income (Loss) from Operations: Transactions deemed by management to be
  ongoing, major or central to the provision of health care services are
  reported as operating revenue and expenses and are included in income from
  operations. Income (loss) from operations includes operating income and
  investment income. Changes in unrestricted net assets which are excluded from
  income (loss) from operations include contributions of capital to related
  entities and unrealized gains and losses on investments.

  Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
  consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the current year's
  presentation.

</TABLE> 

(a)  On July 7, 1993, the Plan entered into a $9.4 million New Jersey Health
     Care Facility Financing Authority (NJHCFFA) Capital Asset Program Loan
     pursuant to a trust agreement dated December 1, 1986 between NJHCFFA and
     Summit Bank (formerly United Jersey Bank), as trustee. Through December 31,
     1996, the Plan has utilized $8.0 million of the available balance for a
     capital asset expansion and improvement program to its health care centers
     which began during 1992.

     Interest and principal are paid monthly based on a 20-year amortization
     with a balloon payment in the seventh year. Interest is calculated on any
     unpaid principal balance at the prevailing variable interest rate. At
     December 31, 1996, interest was being accrued at the rate of 7.53 percent
     per annum.

     Under the terms of the NJHCFFA loan, the Plan is required to maintain
     compliance with certain covenants and financial ratios. The Plan did not
     meet certain of these financial ratios as of December 31, 1996, however, it
     has received a waiver of default covering the failed covenants through
     January 1, 1998.

(b)  The Plan entered into a note payable agreement with a bank dated December
     30, 1994. The agreement consists of two notes in the amounts of $1.8
     million and $4.8 million, Note A and Note B, respectively. Principal and
     interest are payable monthly on Note A commencing January 31, 1995. Note A
     matures January 30, 2005 and bears interest at a rate of 8.67 percent.
     Principal and interest are payable monthly on Note B commencing January 31,
     1995. Note B matures January 30.


                                                                              11

          1999 and bears interest at a rate of 8.05 percent. The notes are
          secured by a lien and a security interest in the equipment and 
          furniture in the New Brunswick Health Center with a carrying value of
          approximately $4.1 million at December 31, 1996.


          Under the terms of this note payable to a bank, the Plan is required
          to maintain certain minimum debt service and cash flow ratios. The
          Plan was not in compliance with these ratios as of December 31, 1996.
          In April 1997, the bank agreed to waive the covenant violations on a
          conditional basis through January 1, 1998. Due to the conditions
          stipulated in the waiver, the Plan has classified the note payable as
          a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet.

     (c)  The mortgage, dated April 6, 1993, was entered into to obtain
          financing for the construction of the corporate headquarters located
          in North Brunswick, New Jersey. Principal and interest are payable
          monthly with a maturity of October 31, 2004. The mortgage bears
          interest at a rate of 7.5 percent per annum. Under the terms of the
          agreement, the Plan must maintain a minimum aggregate balance of $1.0
          million in savings accounts. The mortgage is secured by a first
          leasehold mortgage on the facility and first priority security
          interest in all equipment and fixtures in the headquarters.

     (d)  On July 1, 1995, HIPPRO issued a $.1 million note payable bearing
          interest at a rate equal to the prime lending rate of a local bank
          (8.75% at December 31, 1996). Principal and interest are payable
          monthly, with fixed monthly principal payments through June 1, 1998.

Required principal payments over the next five years and thereafter are as 
follows:

4. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)

The fair value of the Plan's long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash 
flow analyses, based on the Plan's current incremental borrowing rates for 
similar types of borrowing arrangements.  The carrying amount reported in the 
balance sheet approximates its fair value.

5. SURPLUS NOTES

As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Plan had outstanding approximately $40.2 
million in surplus notes to HIPNY.  In accordance with the terms of the surplus 
notes, repayment of these obligations will occur only from free and divisible 
surplus as verified by the audited financial statements of the Plan and with 
approval of the New Jersey Commissioner of the Department of Insurance.  In the 
event of dissolution or liquidation of the Plan, no repayment on these notes 
shall be made unless and until all other liabilities of the Plan have been 
satisfied.

7.   PENSION PLAN

The Plan sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan which covers 
substantially all employees. The benefits are based on the participant's years 
of credited service and the highest average compensation for three consecutive 
years during the last ten years of employment. The Plan's funding policy is to 
contribute an amount equal to the minimum funding requirement of the Employment 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") plus additional amounts which 
are approved by the Plan from year to year. Total pension contributions were 
$0.9 million and $1.1 million for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The net periodic pension expense includes the following components:

7.   PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED)

The discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the 
projected benefit obligations was 7.5 percent in 1996 and 1995. The expected 
long-term rate of return on plan assets in 1996 and 1995 was 8.0 percent. The 
assumed rate of increase in future compensation levels used in determining the 
actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation was 5.9 percent and 
5.0 percent in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The Plan's assets consist principally of investments in various governmental 
securities, corporate debt securities, preferred stock and commercial paper.


8.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Plan contracts with HIPNY for certain medical services, which are charged on
a cost basis. For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, amounts charged 
for these services approximated $1.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and
are included in the statements of operations and changes in net assets.

The Plan has contracted with HIPNY to provide services for HIPNY members 
residing within the Plan's service area. For the years ended December 31, 1996 
and 1995, the Plan recognized revenues of approximately $49.5 million and $48.5 
million, respectively, from this contract.

HIPNY has guaranteed that it will maintain capital and surplus within the Plan 
that meet or exceed the requirements of the State of New Jersey. This guaranty 
is subject to compliance with the laws and regulations of the State of New York.
There was no funding required under this guarantee during the years ended 
December 31, 1996 and 1995.

During 1996 and 1995 a substantial portion of physician services to the Plan's 
subscribers were provided pursuant to Medical Services Agreements (the 
"Agreements") with Garden State Medical Group and Central New Jersey Medical 
Group (the "Groups"). Effective January 1, 1996, the Groups merged into one 
corporation known as Garden State Medical Group. Under the Agreements, the Plan 
reimbursed physician salary and referral expenses incurred by the Groups on
behalf of the Plan's membership. In addition, the Plan provided space and
certain administrative services to the Groups under the Agreements. The Plan
incurred approximately $203 million and $178 million of medical
                                                                              15

service expenses relating to the Groups during the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. As a result of incurring these expenses, the Plan had
amounts payable of approximately $25.6 million and $20.3 million to the Groups,
as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, which are included in claims
payable and other long-term liabilities.

9.   REINSURANCE

As a member of The HMO Group, Inc. ("THMOG"), the Plan is a participant in a 
captive insurance company formed to provide reinsurance to participating THMOG 
members. The captive insurance company has contracted with a major insurance 
carrier to provide coverage for large hospital claims of participating members. 
Under the current policy, the carrier will reimburse the Plan for 90 percent of 
inpatient hospital claims up to a maximum of $0.7 million per member after a 
$0.2 million deductible has been satisfied, and 100 percent (up to maximum of 
$2.0 million) thereafter.

In the event of the Plan's insolvency,  the carrier will continue to pay 
benefits to members to the end of the contract period for which a member's 
premium has been paid, not to exceed 31 days or until discharged if a member is 
hospitalized on the date of insolvency.

Premiums paid under the reinsurance agreement were approximately $0.5 million
and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

10.  STATUTORY ACCOUNTING PRACTICES

In 1996, the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the "Department")
enacted legislation intended to standardize financial reporting for HMOs
licensed in New Jersey, and to ensure that data is properly captured in order to
be in compliance with State regulations. Among other things, the Department
requires a minimum statutory net worth in order to determine its solvency under
New Jersey insurance law. HIP of New Jersey, Inc.'s admitted assets, liabilities
and reserves in accordance with statutory practices at December 31, 1996 are as

                        Report of Independent Auditors


The Board of Trustees
HIP of New Jersey, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position 
of HIP of New Jersey, Inc. (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and 
the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in net assets and 
cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Plan and its 
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their 
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the 
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The additional consolidating
information for 1995 on pages 18, 19 and 20 is presented for the purpose of 
additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated financial 
statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures 
applied in our audits of the consolidated financial statements and, in our 
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the 
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

                  Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                    Years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994


1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

HIP of New Jersey, Inc., currently d/b/a HIP Health Plan of New Jersey (the 
"Plan"), a New Jersey not-for-profit corporation, was organized as a Health 
Maintenance Organization ("HMO") in accordance with the provisions of the 
Federal Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973. The Plan is exempt from 
income taxes under Section 501(a) as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the 
Internal Revenue Code.

Effective December 31, 1991, Rutgers Community Health Plan, Inc. ("RCHP"), an 
affiliate of the Plan, converted from a New Jersey for-profit corporation to a 
New Jersey not-for-profit corporation and merged with and into the Plan in a 
transaction that was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. The Plan conducted
business as HIP/Rutgers Health Plan until September 13, 1994, at which time the 
corporation commenced doing business as HIP Health Plan of New Jersey.

The Plan contracts annually with two independent medical groups who provide 
medical care to subscribers insured by the Plan. The operations of the groups, 
which are professional corporations, are not consolidated with the Plan's 
financial statements. The Plan's arrangements with Hospitals are primarily on a 
per diem reimbursement basis.

During 1995, the Plan purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of HIP-New Jersey 
Holdings, Inc. ("HIP Holdings"), a New Jersey holding corporation. HIP Holdings 
owns all of the outstanding stock of HIP Insurance Company of New Jersey, Inc. 
("HIPIC") and HIP PRO, Inc. ("HIPPRO"). HIPIC commenced operations during 1995. 
The purpose of obtaining an insurance license in the State of New Jersey was to 
afford the organization the ability to offer a Point-of-Service product. HIPPRO 
also commenced operations in 1995. HIPPRO is a state-certified Managed Care 
Organization specializing in the treatment of worker's compensation injuries. 
The financial statements of HIP Holdings for the year ended December 31, 1995 
have been consolidated and, accordingly, all appropriate intercompany 
transactions have been eliminated.

The Plan is the sole member of HIP Pennsylvania, Inc. ("HIPPA") a not-for-profit
HMO located in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The operations of HIPPA are not 
consolidated with the Plan's financial statements.

Summary of significant accounting policies:

  Accounting Pronouncements: In June 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards
  Board issued Statement No. 117 Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit
  Organizations ("SFAS 117"). Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan adopted the
  provisions of this new standard which requires restatement of the financial
  statements of the earliest year presented. These changes affect the
  classification of certain items within the financial statements.

                                                                               6

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)


1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 124 (SFAS No. 124) which
  is required to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
  1995 will require a change in 1996 in the method used by the Plan in
  accounting for its investments. SFAS No. 124 stipulates that investments are
  to be stated at fair value on the balance sheet. Had SFAS No. 124 been applied
  in 1995, net assets would have been approximately $.9 million higher at
  December 31, 1995.

  Premiums: Subscribers' premiums are recorded as income in the month for which
  subscribers are entitled to service. Premiums collected in advance are
  deferred.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities: The Plan has a cash
  management program which provides for the investment of excess cash balances
  in financial instruments that are readily convertible to cash. Investments
  with maturities of one year or less from the date of purchase are considered
  cash equivalents and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Marketable
  securities consisting of U.S. Government securities and highly rated corporate
  bonds are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or market at the balance
  sheet date. Gains and losses on the sales of securities are recorded based on
  the average cost of the security sold.

  Prepaid Expenses: Prepaid expenses include periodic interim payments made to
  various health care providers in excess of the amounts which have been earned
  by the providers through the provision of health care services to subscribers.

  Building, Leasehold Improvements and Equipment: Building, leasehold
  improvements and equipment are stated on the basis of cost at the date of
  acquisition or purchase less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
  Depreciation is calculated based on the straight-line method over the
  estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on
  a straight-line basis over the shorter of the asset's estimated useful life or
  related lease term.

  Intangible Assets: Intangible assets consist of goodwill recorded in
  connection with the purchase of all common stock of RCHP by Health Insurance
  Plan of Greater New York ("HIPNY") on July 5, 1989; goodwill recorded in
  connection of the purchase of HIPPRO; and organizational costs incurred in
  connection with the organization of

1.   ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

  HIPC. Through 1993, the Plan was amortizing the goodwill related to RCHP based
  on a 40-year useful life. During 1994, the Plan changed the amortization
  period from 40 years to 10 years (commencing in 1994) to reflect a change in
  the estimated period of benefit of the business goodwill. The effect of the
  change in estimate increased amortization expense for the year ended December
  31, 1994 by approximately $1.0 million. Goodwill related to HIPPRO is being
  amortized on a straight-line basis over a three-year period. The
  organizational costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 
  three-year period. Accumulated amortization was approximately $1.7 million and
  $1.4 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

  Claims Payable: Claims payable represent the amount of payments to be made on
  individual claims which have been reported to the Plan as well as estimates of
  claims incurred which have not yet been reported as of the balance sheet date.
  Claims payable is estimated using various statistical methods that use both
  historical financial and operating data. Management believes that the claims
  payable liability is adequate to satisfy the ultimate claim liabilities. The
  estimates for claims payable are continually reviewed and adjusted as
  necessary as experience develops or new information becomes known. Such
  adjustments are included in current operations.

  Medicare Premiums: The Plan receives reimbursement of its costs, subject to
  audit, for medical treatment of Medicare enrollees under cost reimbursement
  contracts with the Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA"), a Federal
  Agency. The Plan has received final settlements from HCFA for prior periods
  through December 31, 1988 related to RCHP and tentative settlements for
  periods through December 31, 1993 for the Plan. Differences between estimated
  amounts accrued and subsequent settlements are recorded during the year of
  settlement.

  Advertising Costs: Advertising costs are charged to operations when the
  advertising first takes place. Advertising costs charged to operations were
  $3.2 million and $1.2 million for the years 1995 and 1994, respectively.

  Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
  generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
  and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
  date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
  expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those
  estimates.

  Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior
  year's financial statements to conform to the presentation followed in the
  current year.

                                                                               8

  (a) On July 7, 1993, the Plan entered into a $9.4 million New Jersey Health
      Care Facility Financing Authority ("NJHCFFA") Capital Asset Program Loan
      pursuant to a trust agreement dated December 1, 1985, between NJHCFFA and
      United Jersey Bank, as trustee. Through December 31, 1995, the Plan has
      utilized $8.0 million of the available balance for a capital asset
      expansion and improvement program to its health care centers which began
      during 1992.

      Interest and principal are paid monthly based on a 20-year amortization
      with a balloon payment in the seventh year. Interest is calculated on any
      unpaid principal balance at the prevailing variable interest rate. At
      December 31, 1995, interest was being accrued at the rate of $8.25 percent
      per annum.

  (b) The loan payable to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human
      Services ("DHHS") bears interest of 8.25 percent per annum. Principal is
      payable annually, while interest is payable semiannually on the unpaid
      principal amount. The loan matures on July 1, 1996.

      In accordance with the DHHS agreement, the Plan is required to maintain a
      sinking fund for the principal and interest payments. In addition,
      pursuant to the DHHS agreement and Title XIII of the Public Health Service
      Act, the Plan must maintain

                                                                              11

          a restricted cash reserve. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, such funds
          aggregated approximately $.1 million and $.4 million, respectively,
          and are included in the cash deposited in sinking funds and restricted
          cash reserve accounts.

          The loans are secured by a first lien on all revenues derived from
          operations, including, but not limited to, cash and cash equivalents
          and subscriber premiums receivable. The Secretary of DHHS retains
          options to require additional liens on real property, leasehold
          interests or personal property.

     (c)  The Plan entered into a note payable agreement with a bank dated 
          December 30, 1994. The agreement consists of two notes in the amounts
          of $1.8 million and $4.8 million, Note A and Note B, respectively.
          Principal and interest are payable monthly on Note A commencing
          January 31, 1995. Note A matures January 30, 2005 and bears interest
          at a rate of 8.67 percent. Principal and interest are payable monthly
          on Note B commencing January 31, 1995. Note B matures January 30, 1999
          and bears interest at a rate of 8.05 percent. The notes are secured by
          a lien and a security interest in the equipment and furniture in the
          New Brunswick Health Center with a carrying value of approximately
          $7.3 million at December 31, 1995.

     (d)  The mortgage, dated April 6, 1993, was entered into to obtain
          financing for the construction of the corporate headquarters located
          in North Brunswick, New Jersey. Principal and interest are payable
          monthly with a maturity of October 31, 2004. The mortgage bears
          interest at a rate of 7.5 percent per annum. Under the terms of the
          agreement, the Plan must maintain a minimum aggregate balance of $1.0
          million in savings accounts. The mortgage is secured by a first
          leasehold mortgage on the facility and first priority security
          interest in all equipment and fixtures in the headquarters.

     (e)  On July 1, 1995, HIPPRO issued a $.1 million note payable bearing
          interest at a rate equal to the prime lending rate of a local bank
          (8.75% at December 31, 1995). Principal and interest are payable
          monthly, with fixed monthly principal payments of $.002 million
          through June 1, 1998.

                                                                              12

8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

The Plan has contracted with HIPNY to provide services for HIPNY members 
residing within the Plan's service area. For the years ended December 31, 1995
and 1994, the Plan recognized revenues of approximately $48.5 million and $54.9 
million, respectively, from this contract.

HIPNY guarantees the loan payable of approximately $6.4 million and $6.3 million
at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and certain of the loans payable to
the Secretary of DHHS totaling approximately $.2 million and $.6 million at 
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

HIPNY has guaranteed that it will maintain capital and surplus within the Plan 
that meet or exceed the requirements of the State of New Jersey. This guaranty 
is subject to compliance with the laws and regulations of the State of New York.
There was no funding required under this guarantee during the years ended

the Agreements, the Plan reimburses physician salary and referral expenses 
incurred by the Groups on behalf of the Plan's membership. In addition, the Plan
provides space and certain administrative services to the Groups under the 
Agreements. The Plan incurred approximately $177.6 million and $177.2 million of
medical service expenses relating to the Groups during the years ended December 
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. As a result of incurring these expenses, the
Plan had amounts payable of approximately $20.3 million and $26.3 million to the
Groups, as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, which are included in
claims payable and other long-term liabilities.

captive insurance company formed to provide reinsurance to participating THMOG 
members. The captive insurance company has contracted with a major insurance 
carrier to provide coverage for large hospital claims of participating members.
Under the current policy, the carrier will reimburse the Plan for 90 percent of 
inpatient hospital claims up to a maximum of $.7 million per member after a $.2 
million deductible has been satisfied, and 100 percent (up to a maximum of $2.0 
million) thereafter.

                                                                              16
