The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share (in thousands except share amounts):

</TABLE>








<PAGE> 8

Options to purchase  approximately 5.1 million shares of common stock at various
prices  were  outstanding  at June  30,  2000,  but  were  not  included  in the
computation  of diluted  earnings per share  because the option  proceeds  would
exceed  the  average   market  price  and,   therefore,   the  effect  would  be
antidilutive.

During  the  first  six  months of 2000 and  1999,  total  comprehensive  income
amounted to $15,994,000 and $9,069,000, respectively.

The Company maintains a stock compensation trust ("SCT") to fund its obligations
arising from its various stock option plans. Shares held by the SCT are excluded
from the denominator  used in calculating  basic and diluted earnings per common
share.

NOTE 3 - FEDERAL EMPLOYEES' HEALTH BENEFIT PROGRAM SETTLEMENT

During 1998, a pretax charge of  approximately  $16.5  million,  which  included
approximately  $4.4  million  of  interest,  was  recognized  in  the  Company's
financial  statements  in  anticipation  of  negotiations  relating to potential
governmental  claims in connection  with  contracts with the Office of Personnel
Management  ("OPM"),  related to an audit  conducted  by the Office of Inspector
General  concerning the Company's  participation  in the Federal Employee Health
Benefit  Program  ("FEHBP")  for the years 1992- 1997,  related to findings  for
years 1992-1994.  In the normal course of business, OPM audits health plans with
which it contracts to verify,  among other things,  that the premiums calculated
and charged to OPM are  established in compliance  with the best price community
rating guidelines established by OPM. OPM typically audits plans once every five
or six years,  and each audit  covers the prior five or six year  period.  OPM's
current  practice is to audit large  plans  every year.  While the  government's
initial on-site audits are usually followed by a post-audit  briefing as well as
a preliminary  audit report in which the  government  indicates its  preliminary
results,  final  resolution  and  settlement of the audits can take two to three
years.  In the first quarter of 2000, the Company  settled all findings  without
material modification to its original charge.

NOTE 4 - REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

The Company's  principal  business is providing health insurance  products.  The
Company has two  reportable  segments:  commercial  risk  products and preferred
provider   organizations.   The  Company  evaluates  performance  and  allocates
resources  based on profit or loss from  operations  before  income  taxes,  not
including gains or losses on the Company's investment portfolio. Management does
not allocate assets in the measurement of segment profit or loss. The accounting
policies  of the  reportable  segments  are the same as those  described  in the
summary of significant  accounting policies described in the Company's 1999 Form
10-K.

                     MID ATLANTIC MEDICAL SERVICES, INC.
          ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

All forward-looking  information  contained in this Management's  Discussion and
Analysis  of  Financial   Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  is  based  on
management's  current knowledge of factors  affecting MAMSI's business.  MAMSI's
actual  results  may  differ  materially  if these  assumptions  prove  invalid.
Significant risk factors, while not all-inclusive, are:

1. The  possibility  of increasing  price  competition  in the Company's  market
place.

2. The possibility  that the Company is not able to increase its market share at
the anticipated premium rates.

3. The possibility of increased  litigation,  legislation or regulation (such as
the numerous  class action  lawsuits that have been filed  against  managed care
companies and the pending  initiatives to increase health care  regulation) that
might increase regulatory oversight which, in turn, would have the potential for
increased costs.

4. The potential for increased medical expenses due to:
      -  Increased utilization by the Company's membership.
      -  Inflation in practitioner and pharmaceutical costs.
      -  Federal or state mandates that increase benefits or limit the
         Company's oversight ability.

5. The  possibility  that the  Company is not able to  negotiate  new or renewal
contracts  with  appropriate   physicians,   other  health  care  practitioners,
hospitals and facilities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1999

Consolidated  net income of the Company was  $7,313,000  and  $4,506,000 for the
second quarters of 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Diluted earnings per share was
$.19 and  $.11 in the  second  quarters  of 2000 and  1999,  respectively.  This
increase in earnings is  attributable  to an increase in premiums per member,  a
reduction  in  medical  expenses  as a  percentage  of  health  premium  revenue
("medical  care  ratio"),  offset  somewhat  by an  increase  in  administrative
expense.  The Company has priced its health products  competitively  in order to
increase its membership base and thereby  enhance its strategic  position in its
market place. The Company  currently has one of the largest HMO and managed care
enrollments and also the largest  network of contract  providers of medical care
in its service area (which  includes the entire states of Maryland and Delaware,
the District of Columbia, most counties and cities in Virginia and certain areas
of West Virginia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania).

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased  approximately  $44.8
million or 13.9 percent over the three months ended June 30, 1999. A 2.9 percent
increase in net average HMO and indemnity  enrollment resulted in an increase of
approximately  $9.8  million in health  premium  revenue,  while a 11.1  percent
increase in average  monthly  premium per  enrollee,  combined for all products,
resulted in a $34.2 million increase in health premium revenue.  The increase in
HMO and indemnity  enrollment is  principally  due to increases in the Company's
commercial  membership.  Management  believes that  commercial  health  premiums
should continue to increase during 2000 as the Company continues to increase its
commercial  membership and as new and renewing groups are charged higher premium
rates due to  legislatively  mandated  benefit  enhancements  and general  price
increases  initiated by the Company.  This is a forward-looking  statement.  See
"Forward Looking  Information"  above for a description of the risk factors that
may effect health premiums per member.






<PAGE> 11

The Company has implemented  increased  premium rates across  essentially all of
its commercial products. As the Company's contracts are generally for a one year
period,  increased  pricing  cannot be  initiated  until a contract  reaches its
renewal date.  Therefore,  price  increases  cannot be made across the Company's
membership at the same time.  Commercial  premium rate increases are expected to
continue in 2000 in the range of 9% to 10%.  Management believes that these rate
increases may have the effect of slowing the Company's future membership growth.
In addition,  management  reevaluated premium reimbursement rates with regard to
its Medicare and Medicaid programs. Specifically,  effective January 1, 1999 the
Company withdrew from participation in the Medicare program.  In October,  1999,
the Company withdrew from  participation in the North Carolina and West Virginia
Medicaid  programs.  Effective  May 1, 2000,  the  Company has  transferred  its
membership  in the  Virginia  Medicaid  Program  to a non-  affiliated  carrier.
Therefore,  as of May 1, 2000,  the Company has ended its  participation  in any
government entitlement health insurance programs.

The  Company's  future  membership  growth  depends on several  factors  such as
relative premium prices and product availability,  future increases or decreases
in the  Company's  service  area,  and  increased  competition  in the Company's
service area.

The Company's home health operations  contributed  approximately $6.0 million in
revenue  in the  second  quarter of 2000 as  compared  with $5.8  million in the
second  quarter of 1999.  Revenue from life and short-term  disability  products
contributed $2.0 million in revenue in the second quarters of 2000 and 1999.

The medical care ratio  decreased  from 89.0% for the second  quarter of 1999 to
87.6% for the second  quarter of 2000. On a per member per month basis,  medical
expenses increased 9.3 percent. The decrease in the medical care ratio is due to
a  combination  of  factors  including  continuing  efforts  by the  Company  to
implement  product specific cost  containment  controls,  continued  activity in
specialized  subrogation  areas and claims review for dual health coverage,  the
Company's  withdrawal from certain state Medicaid  programs,  and also increased
premiums  per  member.  The  ongoing  initiatives  should  help to  control  the
Company's medical care ratio. The statements in this paragraph and the preceding
paragraphs  regarding future  utilization  rates, cost containment  initiatives,
total  medical  costs and future  increases in health  premiums per member,  are
forward-looking  statements.  See  "Forward-Looking  Information"  above  for  a
description of risk factors that may affect medical  expenses per member and the
medical care ratio.

Administrative  expenses as a  percentage  of revenue  ("administrative  expense
ratio")  increased to 11.7 percent for the second quarter of 2000 as compared to
11.3  percent  for the  same  period  in  1999.  Management  believes  that  the
administrative  expense ratio will remain  approximately the same throughout the
rest of 2000.  Management's  expectation  concerning the administrative  expense
ratio  is a  forward-looking  statement.  The  administrative  expense  ratio is
affected by changes in health  premiums and other  revenues,  development of the
Company's  expansion  areas and  increased  administrative  activity  related to
business volume.

Investment  income  increased  $.8  million  primarily  due  to an  increase  in
investment securities balances.

The net margin rate  increased from 1.4 percent in the second quarter of 1999 to
2.0 percent in the current quarter. This increase is consistent with the factors
previously described.

THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 1999

The  Company's  consolidated  net income for the six months  ended June 30, 2000
increased  to  $15,915,000  from  $10,377,000  for the six months ended June 30,
1999.  Diluted earnings per share on net income increased from $.25 in the first
six months of 1999 to $.41 for the same period in 2000. The increase in earnings
is primarily  attributable to increased premiums per member and reduction in the
medical care ratio offset somewhat by an increase in administrative expense.

Revenue for the six months  ended June 30, 2000  increased  approximately  $91.7
million or 14.4  percent over the six months ended June 30, 1999. A 10.8 percent
increase in average  premiums per HMO and indemnity  enrollee  increased  health
premium revenue by approximately $65.4 million and a 3.6






<PAGE> 12

percent  increase  in net average HMO and  indemnity  enrollment  resulted in an
increase of approximately $24.2 million in health premium revenue.  Revenue from
life and short-term  disability products contributed $4.0 million in revenue for
the first six months of 2000 and for the same period in 1999.

The medical  care ratio  decreased to 87.2 percent for the six months ended June
30, 2000 as compared to 88.5  percent  for the  comparable  period in 1999.  The
reasons  for this  decrease  are  consistent  with the  items  discussed  in the
quarterly analysis.

The  administrative  expense ratio for the first six months of 2000 increased to
11.8  percent as  compared  to 11.5  percent  for the same  period in 1999.  The
reasons  for this  increase  are  consistent  with the  items  discussed  in the
quarterly analysis.

The net margin rate  increased from 1.6 percent for the first six months of 1999
to 2.2 percent for the  comparable  period of 2000.  This increase is consistent
with the factors previously described.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Company's  business  is not  capital  intensive  and  the  majority  of the
Company's  expenses are payments to  physicians  and health care  practitioners,
which  generally  vary in  direct  proportion  to the  health  premium  revenues
received by the Company.  Although medical utilization rates vary by season, the
payments for such expenses lag behind cash inflow from  premiums  because of the
lag in provider billing procedures. In the past, the Company's cash requirements
have been met principally  from operating cash flow, and it is anticipated  that
this source, coupled with the Company's operating line-of-credit,  will continue
to be sufficient in the future.

The Company's cash and investment securities increased $16.6 million from $206.2
million at December 31, 1999 to $222.8  million at June 30, 2000,  primarily due
to the timing of medical expense  payments,  which  traditionally lag behind the
receipt of increased  premiums per member and net income offset by the effect of
treasury stock purchases.  Accounts  receivable  decreased from $83.6 million at
December  31, 1999 to $82.1  million at June 30,  2000,  principally  due to the
timing of customer  payments and payment on receivables due from FEHBP.  Prepaid
expenses,  advances and other  increased from $27.3 million at December 31, 1999
to $29.3  million at June 30, 2000 due to an increase in income tax amounts paid
in advance.

Medical  claims  payable  increased  from $154.4 million at December 31, 1999 to
$167.1  million at June 30, 2000,  primarily due to increased  membership and an
increase in medical expenses per member.

Additional paid-in capital increased from $152.6 million at December 31, 1999 to
$204.0  million at June 30, 2000,  principally  due to an increase in the market
value of the shares of the  Company's  stock held in the SCT. This also accounts
for the change in the SCT balance.

Treasury  stock  increased  from $104.1  million at December  31, 1999 to $124.7
million at June 30, 2000 due to the purchase of 2,156,400  additional  shares by
the Company at a total cost of $20,631,000.

The Company  currently has access to total revolving credit  facilities of $29.0
million,  which is used to provide short-term capital resources for routine cash
flow  fluctuations.  At June 30,  2000,  approximately  $3.1  million  was drawn
against  these  facilities.  In  addition,  the Company  maintains a $12 million
letter of credit for the benefit of the North Carolina  Insurance  Department in
support of operations of MAMSI Life and Health Insurance Company, and a $100,000
letter of credit for the Company's home health subsidiary. While no amounts have
been drawn  against these  letters of credit,  they reduce the Company's  credit
line availability.

</TABLE>

The Company  believes that cash generated from operations along with its current
liquidity and borrowing  capabilities  are adequate for both current and planned
expanded operations.

The Company's major business  operations are principally  conducted  through its
HMOs and insurance  company.  HMOs and insurance  companies are subject to state
regulations  that,  among other things,  may require those companies to maintain
certain  levels of  equity,  and  restrict  the  amount of  dividends  and other
distributions  that may be paid to  their  parent  corporations.  As of June 30,
2000,  those  subsidiaries  of the Company were in  compliance  with all minimum
capital requirements.

At its October  1999 Board  meeting,  the Board of  Directors  authorized  a $20
million stock  repurchase  program to begin November 15, 1999 and extend through
June 30,  2000.  As of December 31, 1999,  the Company had  repurchased  447,200
shares of its common stock for a total cost of approximately  $3.1 million under
its then active stock  repurchase  program.  During the three months ended March
31, 2000, the Company  repurchased an additional  1,106,000 shares of its common
stock for a total  cost of  approximately  $9.7  million.  At its May 2000 Board
meeting,  the Board of  Directors  authorized  a $20  million  stock  repurchase
program to begin immediately.  The newly authorized program includes any unspent
funds carried forward from the October 1999 repurchase program. During the three
months ended June 30, 2000,  the Company  repurchased  an  additional  1,050,400
shares of its common stock for a total cost of approximately $10.9 million.

MARKET RISK

The  Company is exposed  to market  risk  through  its  investment  in fixed and
variable rate debt securities that are interest rate sensitive. The Company does
not use derivative financial instruments.  The Company places its investments in
instruments  that  meet high  credit  quality  standards,  as  specified  in the
Company's  investment  policy  guidelines;  the policy also limits the amount of
credit exposure to any one issue, issuer, or type of instrument. The Company has
no  significant  market risk with regard to  liabilities.  There are no material
changes in market risk exposure at June 30, 2000 when compared with December 31,
1999.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company has been named as the  defendant in a suit filed by certain  medical
physicians and health care  practitioners on March 26, 1997 in the Circuit Court
for Anne Arundel  County,  Maryland  ("Court"),  which  alleges that the Company
improperly  reduced  payments  to  participating   physicians  and  health  care
practitioners in the form of "withhold".  It is the plaintiffs'  allegation that
certain  payments  should  not  have  been  reduced  in  this  manner  and  seek
unspecified  damages.  This matter has been filed as a class action  against the
Company.  On August  18,  1997,  the Court  stayed  further  proceedings  in the
litigation pending  plaintiff's pursuit of arbitration as provided for under the
contract.  On July 6, 2000, the Court ordered  consolidated  arbitration  and on
July 26, 2000,  the Company filed an appeal of this order to the Maryland  Court
of Special  Appeals.  On April 14, 2000, the  plaintiffs  filed a Second Amended
Complaint in the form of a class action against the Company  alleging  breach of
contract,  breach of fiduciary duty,  conversion,  fraudulent scheme,  deceptive
course  of  business  practices  and  tortious   interference  with  contractual
relations  generally  relating  to failed  settlement  discussions  between  the
parties.  On July 6, 2000,  the Court granted  plaintiffs'  request to partially
lift the stay on certain  counts in the  Second  Amended  Complaint.  Management
believes  that the  ultimate  outcome of these  matters will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.

The Company is involved in other  various  legal  actions  arising in the normal
course of  business,  some of which seek  substantial  monetary  damages.  After
review, including consultation with legal counsel,  management believes that any
ultimate liability that could arise from these other actions will not materially
effect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
