REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Owners of
Orange County Professional Services, Inc.
(dba California Professional Services) and Affiliated Companies:

We have audited the accompanying combined consolidated balance sheets of Orange
County Professional Services, Inc. (dba California Professional Services) and
Affiliated Companies (the "Company") as of May 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999,
and the related statements of operations, owners' equity and cash flows for the
five months ended May 31, 2000 and the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 financial position of Orange County Professional
Services, Inc. (dba California Professional Services) and Affiliated Companies
as of May 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the five months ended May 31, 2000 and the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     a.   Principles of Consolidation and Combination
          -------------------------------------------

     The combined consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
     Company. All significant intercompany accounts have been eliminated in
     consolidation.

     b.   Use of Estimates
          ----------------

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain
     estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
     liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
     of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and
     expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could materially
     differ from those estimates.
<PAGE>

     c.   Fair Value of Financial Instruments
          -----------------------------------

     Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using available market
     information and other valuation methodologies. The fair values of the
     Company's financial instruments are estimated to approximate the related
     book value, unless otherwise indicated.

     d.   Accounts Receivable
          -------------------

     Accounts receivable represent accounts in which the Company provides
     services for entities primarily in the healthcare industry for a fee.
     Service fees are reported as income when earned. Servicing costs are
     charged to expense as incurred.

     e.   Property and Equipment
          ----------------------

     Property and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated using both
     straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of
     the assets, which are generally 5 to 7 years.

     Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; replacements
     and betterments are capitalized

     f.   Trust Accounts and Restricted Cash
          ----------------------------------

     The Company maintains trust accounts for the benefit of its customers.
     Related funds are deposited in trust bank accounts and reflected as a trust
     liability until such amounts held in trust are remitted to customers. As of
     May 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the trust accounts cash balances were
     $0 and $147,147, respectively, and are reflected as restricted cash and
     trust payables in the accompanying combined consolidated balance sheets.

     g.   Income Taxes
          ------------

     The Company consists of five tax filing entities; OCPS, Impact, RBA,
     Insource and HELP. With the consent of its owners, Insource has elected
     under the Internal Revenue Code to be a LLC, and the remaining entities
     have elected to be S corporations. As such, the Company does not pay
     federal income taxes, and operating income and losses are passed through to
     the owners. The Company is subject to state income taxes at a rate of 1.5
     percent of taxable income or $800, whichever is greater.
