NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  The unaudited financial statements herein have been prepared by the Company
    pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
    Commission.  The accompanying interim financial statements have been
    prepared under the presumption that users of the interim financial
    information have either read or have access to the audited financial
    statements for the latest fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.
    Accordingly, footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the
    disclosures contained in the December 31, 1995 audited financial statements
    have been omitted from these interim financial statements.  Certain
    information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
    statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
    regulations.  Although the Company believes that the disclosures are
    adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested
    that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the
    financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest
    Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.  On February 1, 1996, the Company acquired American Life and Health
    Insurance Company and its subsidiary Cambridge Life Insurance Company for
    approximately $11.2 million in cash of which $7.1 million was paid at
    closing, $3.1 million was paid in the second quarter of 1996 and $1.0
    million will be paid when certain contingencies are resolved.  The
    acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method and, accordingly, the
    results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the
    accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of
    acquisition.  The estimated fair market value of net assets acquired was
    $8,042,000, net of cash acquired.   The excess of purchase price over
    estimated fair market value has been allocated to goodwill which is being
    amortized over 20 years.  The pro forma effect of the acquisition on the
    consolidated results of the Company are not material.

3.  The Company's investments in marketable securities which are classified as
    available for sale had a net unrealized loss in market value of $608,000,
    net of deferred income taxes, for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The
    net unrealized loss at June 30, 1996, included as a component of
    stockholders' equity, was $366,000, net of deferred income taxes.  The
    Company's $10,000,000 investment in a limited partnership is carried at
    cost.  The current value of the Company's interest in the limited
    partnership at June 30, 1996, as reported by the partnership, was
    $11,207,000.  In the third quarter of 1995, the Company invested in another
    limited partnership which invests in equipment which is leased to third
    parties.  This investment is accounted for on the equity method since the
    Company owns 20% of the limited partnership's assets.  The Company's
    proportionate share of the partnership's income was $150,000 for the six
    months ended June 30, 1996 and is included in interest income.

4.  On August 8, 1996, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had
    approved the repurchase of up to 5,000,000 shares, or 15% of the Company's
    then outstanding Common Stock.  Purchases may be made from time to time,
    depending on the current market conditions and other relevant factors.  The
    Company had previously repurchased 1,655,000 shares.  During 1996, the
    Company has repurchased approximately 777,000 shares.  Such shares are
    reported at cost and can be used for general corporate purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 17% to
$9,142,000 and $17,746,000, respectively, from the comparable periods of 1995.
The Company's revenues consist of fees for cost management services provided
under contracts which typically require clients to pay based upon a percentage
of savings or on a predetermined contractual basis (fee-based revenue).  The
Company also derives revenues based on a fixed monthly fee for each
participant, excluding covered dependents, in a client-sponsored health care
plan (capitated revenue). As a result of the Company's acquisition of a life
and health insurance company, the Company also derives an immaterial amount of
premium revenue on life and health insurance contracts.

    The following table sets forth information with respect to the sources of
the Company's revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995:

</TABLE>




    The growth in revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
from the comparable periods of 1995 is primarily attributable to the expansion
and development of the Company's PPO services.  PPO revenue increased
$6,990,000 (17%) and $14,033,000 (18%), respectively, from the same periods of
1995.  This growth is the result of new client additions and increased
utilization of the PPO network by existing clients.  Revenue from fee schedule
services increased $2,360,000 (58%) and $4,216,000 (50%), respectively, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 from the comparable periods in 1995
due to new client additions and increased revenue from several existing
clients.

    Revenue from clinical cost management services decreased $1,309,000 (20%)
and $2,295,000 (18%), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996 from the comparable periods in 1995.  Premium revenue was generated by the
small health and life insurance companies acquired by the Company during the
first quarter of 1996.  Government contract revenue decreased $770,000 (57%)
and $1,460,000 (52%), respectively, from the same periods in 1995 due to the
successful completion of the regional review portion of the Company's CHAMPUS
contract.

    Cost of services increased $2,896,000 (19%) and $4,081,000 (13%) for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 from the comparable periods of 1995.
Cost of services consists primarily of salaries for personnel involved in PPO
administration, development and expansion, utilization management programs, fee
schedule and other cost management services offered by the Company.  To a
lesser extent, cost of services includes telephone expenses, facility expenses
and information processing costs.  The increase in these costs is primarily
attributable to expenses incurred in the development of the Company's
risk-based products.

    Selling and marketing costs increased $847,000 (13%) and $1,896,000 (15%),
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 from the same
periods of 1995, primarily as a result of the hiring of additional sales
personnel.   To a lesser extent, the increase relates to commissions paid to
agents and third party administrators by the Company's insurance entities.

    General and administrative costs for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996 increased $608,000 (22%) and $1,244,000 (23%), respectively, from the
comparable periods of 1995.  This increase is primarily attributable to the
general insurance expenses incurred by the Company's insurance entities.  To a
lesser extent, the increase relates to salaries and benefits incurred in the
executive and administrative areas of the Company.

    Healthcare benefits represent losses incurred by insureds of the Company's
insurance entities.  The loss ratio (losses as a percent of premiums) was 75%
and 69%, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996.  Due
to the small size of the business currently, this expense will be very volatile
and will continue to be volatile until the Company has been able to institute
all of its managed care services and controls.

    Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $221,000 (8%) and $332,000
(6%), respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 from the
comparable periods of 1995.  Depreciation expense as a percent of revenue
remained constant at 5%.

    Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased
$1,042,000 (52%) and $2,185,000 (59%) from the same periods in 1995 due to a
49% increase in the amount of cash equivalents and investments since June 30,
1995.

    Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, increased
$3,275,000 (20%) and $7,452,000 (24%), respectively, from the comparable
periods of 1995.  This increase is due primarily to the revenue growth as well
as efficiencies achieved in the Company's operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company had $144,794,000 in working capital at June 30, 1996 compared
with working capital of $157,124,000 at December 31, 1995.  The decrease is
primarily attributable to the purchase of the insurance entities which had
negative working capital of approximately $5,500,000 at date of purchase as
well as for purchases of longer term investments used to maximize investment
income.  Cash equivalents and short and long-term investments increased

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to $265,613,000 at June 30, 1996 from $221,370,000 at December 31, 1995,
primarily as the result of cash provided by operating activities and, to a
lesser extent, cash received upon the exercise of stock options.  Through the
first six months of the year, operating activities provided $46,857,000 of
cash.

    The Company believes that its working capital, long-term investments, and
cash generated from future operations will be sufficient to fund the Company's
anticipated operations and expansion plans.
