                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)



1.    Basis of Presentation

      The  information  presented  at  September  30,  1996 and 1995 and for the
periods then ended is unaudited,  but includes all adjustments  (consisting only
of  normal  recurring  accruals)  which the  management  of  Physician  Computer
Network,  Inc.  ("PCN" and  together  with PCN's  subsidiaries,  the  "Company")
believes to be necessary  for the fair  presentation  of results for the periods
presented.  The results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1996 may not  necessarily  be  indicative of results to be expected for the full
year.  It is  suggested  that  these  consolidated  financial  statements,  note
disclosures and other  information be read in conjunction  with the consolidated
financial  statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

      Beginning in 1993,  the Company  instituted a strategy of  developing  and
expanding  its business by acquiring  practice  management  software  businesses
having an installed  base of physician  practice  customers and of acquiring and
developing a common software platform to which such customers could migrate over
time.  In  execution  of this new  strategy,  the Company  acquired two practice
management  software  entities,   Calyx  Corporation  ("Calyx")  of  Brookfield,
Wisconsin on September 23, 1993 and Wallaby Software Corporation  ("Wallaby") of
Mahwah,  New Jersey on December 31, 1993,  pursuant to separate  stock  purchase
agreements.  On March 11, 1994, the Company  purchased  substantially all of the
assets of the  practice  management  business  (the  "DOM/2  Business")  of IBAX
Healthcare  Systems.  On November 15, 1994,  the Company  purchased  the Acclaim
software maintenance and support business (the "Acclaim" Business) from Sentient
Systems, Inc. On April 24, 1995, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
Practice Management Systems Corp.  ("PMSC"),  acquired  substantially all of the
assets of Practice Management Systems, Inc., a business which developed and sold
practice  management  software products and related  equipment,  maintenance and
support to physician practices (the "PMS Business") (See Note 3). On October 27,
1995, the Company acquired VERSYSS Incorporated ("Versyss"),  through the merger
of a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company with and into Versyss, with Versyss
as the surviving  corporation  of such merger (See Note 3). On July 3, 1996, the
Company  acquired  substantially  all of the  assets  of  the  medical  practice
management  software  business and certain  other  software  businesses  of CUSA
Technologies, Inc. (the "CTI Business") (see Note 3). On September 11, 1996, the
Company acquired Wismer-Martin,  Inc.  ("Wismer-Martin"),  through a merger of a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the  Company  with  and  into  Wismer-Martin,  with
Wismer-Martin  as the  surviving  corporation  of such  merger (See Note 3). The
Consolidated  Balance Sheets and the  Consolidated  Statements of Operations are
inclusive of Calyx,



                                       7

Wallaby, the DOM/2 Business, the Acclaim Business, PMSC, Versyss and the results
of the CTI Business from July 3, 1996 (the date of acquisition)  and the results
of Wismer Martin from September 11, 1996 (the date of acquisition) for the three
and nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and are  inclusive of Calyx,  Wallaby,
the DOM/2 Business,  the Acclaim Business and the results of PMSC from April 24,
1995 (the date of acquisition) for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1995. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.


2.    Net Income Per Common Share

      Net  income per common  share for the three and nine month  periods  ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 is determined by dividing net income by the weighted
average  number of shares of the  Company's  common  stock,  par value $0.01 per
share ("Common Stock"),  outstanding  during the period. The assumed exercise of
dilutive  stock options and warrants and the assumed  conversion of  outstanding
shares of the Company's Series A convertible non-dividend paying preferred stock
(the  "Convertible  Preferred  Stock") has been included in the  calculation  of
weighted   average  number  of  common  shares   outstanding.   The  convertible
$10,000,000  principal  amount five year promissory note (the "Equifax Note") of
the Company,  purchased by Equifax Inc.  ("Equifax") on February 15, 1995 (which
note  bore  interest  at a rate of 6% per  annum)  was not  considered  an other
dilutive  security  during the period it was  outstanding for the three and nine
month  periods  ended  Septemer  30 1996 and  1995,  respectively,  since it was
anti-dilutive.  Therefore,  the Equifax  Note was only  included in the weighted
average  number of common  shares  outstanding  for the nine month  period ended
September 30, 1996 from the date of its conversion in full into 1,932,217 shares
of Common Stock on May 10, 1996.

      The following  unaudited pro forma  financial  information  represents the
combined results of operations of the Company,  Versyss, PMSC, the CTI Business,
and Wismer-  Martin as if all  acquisitions  had  occurred as of January 1, 1995
after giving effect to certain financing transactions completed in 1995 and 1996
and are  exclusive  of the  $14,516,000  charge for the acquired  technology  in
process as this charge is non-recurring  and unusual and relates directly to the
acquisition of Versyss.  The unaudited pro forma financial  information does not
necessarily  reflect the results of operations  that would have occurred had the
Company, Versyss PMSC, the CTI Business, and Wismer-Martin  constituted a single
entity  during such periods nor does it represent a basis for  assessing  future
performance.

5.    Restructuring Plan Update

      In the  fourth  quarter  of 1995,  after  the  completion  of the  Versyss
acquisition, management completed a review of the Company's operations, together
with  the  newly  acquired  PMSC  and  Versyss   operations,   and  announced  a
restructuring  plan  (the  "1995  Restructuring  Plan")  designed  to  eliminate
duplicate   administrative   responsibilities,   consolidate   warehousing   and
distribution of the Company's  products and streamline  other core businesses in
order to improve  operating  efficiencies  and increase  shareholder  value. The
Company recorded a restructuring charge aggregating $3,922,450, for which no tax
benefit was available,  partially offset by a recovery of $850,000 from a change
in estimated  requirements  previously charged against operations as part of the
restructuring  accrual recorded in 1993 (see below). The 1995 Restructuring Plan
provision   included   $2,509,950  for  lease  termination  costs   (principally
commencing  in July  1996) and  $1,412,500  for  severance  and  other  employee
reduction-related   costs.  The  1995  Restructuring   charges  do  not  include
additional  costs  associated  with  the  consolidation  of  operations  such as
re-training,  consulting, purchases of equipment and relocation of employees and
equipment.  These  costs  will be  charged  to  operations  or  capitalized,  as
appropriate,  when  incurred.  The  implementation  of this  plan  commenced  in
December  1995 and it is  anticipated  to be completed  sometime in 1997.  Since
implementation of the 1995 Restructuring Plan, the 1995 accrual has decreased by
$2,429,895  principally due to expenditures  related to headcount  reduction and
lease termination  costs from the consolidation and  centralization of financial
and administrative  functions at the Company's corporate  headquarters in Morris
Plains, NJ, the centralization of purchasing,  warehousing and order fulfillment
at the Company's Torrance, CA service center and other functional downsizings.

      In the fourth  quarter of 1993,  after  completing  the Calyx and  Wallaby
acquisitions,   the  Company   implemented  a  restructuring   plan  (the  "1993
Restructuring  Plan") designed to reduce costs,  improve operating  efficiencies
and increase  shareholder  value.  The Company  recorded a restructuring  charge
aggregating  $3,165,000,  for  which  no tax  benefit  was  available,  for  the
consolidation of offices and facilities,  where appropriate,  the centralization
of   administrative   and  overhead   functions  and  certain   other   employee
reduction-related  costs. The charge included  $1,770,000 for lease  termination
costs,   $192,000  for  the   write-off  of  related   equipment  and  leasehold
improvements,  $210,000  for office  relocation  and  consolidation  costs,  and
$993,000 for severance and other employee-related costs. The Company anticipated
that efficiencies related to the restructuring, primarily in the form of reduced
facility and labor-related  costs,  would be phased in by the end of 1995. Since
implementation of the 1993 Restructuring Plan, the 1993 accrual has decreased by
approximately   $2,715,000,   of  which   $1,865,000  was   principally  due  to
expenditures related to the lease termination and consolidation of the Company's
then  corporate  headquarters  in Mahwah,  New Jersey in 1994 and the  resultant
centralization   of  certain  financial  and  sales   administrative   functions
previously  performed at the  Brookfield,  Wisconsin  location.  However,  as of
September  30,  1996,  certain  restructuring  charges  related  to other  lease
termination  costs  have not yet been  paid.  The  table  below  summarizes  the
activity of the 1993 Restructuring Plan:

6.    Shareholders' Equity

      On September 11, 1996, as part of the  acquistion  of  Wismer-Martin,  the
Company  issued  935,000  shares of its Common  Stock at a price of $10.017 (See
Note 3).

      On May 10, 1996,  the Company  completed the public  offering of 5,600,000
shares of its Common  Stock for $10 per share and,  on May 24,  1996,  issued an
additional  840,000  shares for $10 per share upon the  exercise  in full of the
underwriters over-allotment option (the "1996 Public Offering"). Included within
the shares of Common  Stock sold  pursuant  to the 1996  Public  Offering,  were
1,932,217 shares issued by the Company to Equifax upon the conversion in full of
the  Equifax  Note.  As a result  of the sale by the  Company  of the  remaining
4,507,783 shares sold as part of the 1996 Public Offering,  the Company received
net proceeds of approximately $42 million.

      During the first nine  months of 1996,  14,750  shares of the  Convertible
Preferred  Stock,  issued on October 20, 1995 pursuant to Regulation S under the
Securities Act of 1933, were converted into 2,107,136  shares of common stock in
accordance with the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock.

      On February 29, 1996,  options to purchase an additional 495,000 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.625 per share were granted  pursuant to
the Company's 1993  Incentive and  Non-Incentive  Stock Option Plan.  During the
first nine months of 1996,  691,394 stock  options were  exercised and 1,041,775
stock options were  forfeited due to  expiration  or  termination.  In addition,
warrants for 10,000 shares of Common Stock expired  during the first nine months
of 1996.  As a result,  the  cumulative  number of stock  options  and  warrants
outstanding was 8,996,111 as of September 30, 1996.


7.    Significant Transactions

      HealthPoint  G.P.  Joint  Venture.  In January 1996, the Company and Glaxo
Wellcome Inc. ("Glaxo  Wellcome"),  through  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  formed
HealthPoint G.P.  ("HealthPoint"),  a joint venture  partnership,  to design and
market clinical information technology products and services. These products and
services  are  expected  to consist of  computerized  patient  records  software
products,  clinical  network  capabilities  and data analysis.  HealthPoint is a
general  partnership  owned equally by a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company
and a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Glaxo Wellcome and operates  independently  of
the parent  companies.  A management  committee  comprised of  management of the
wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of  Glaxo  Wellcome  and the  Company,  as well as a
representative of HealthPoint's  management,  oversees the venture's operations.
The  Company  has  agreed to,  generally,  use its best  efforts to  exclusively
distribute  HealthPoint's products and services to the Company's customers on an
exclusive basis.  Both the Company and Glaxo Wellcome have



                                       14
<PAGE>



contributed product and development assets to HealthPoint and will contribute at
least  $50  million  in  cash to the  venture,  of  which  $43  million  will be
contributed by Glaxo Wellcome and $7 million will be contributed by the Company.
Of such  amounts,  as of September  30,  1996,  Glaxo  Wellcome had  contributed
approximately  $20.0 million and the Company had contributed  approximately $3.9
million, with the remainder to be contributed proportionately by the partners in
semi-annual  installments as needed by the venture through December 31, 1998. In
addition,  the Company has incurred  approximately  $855,000 of costs related to
its  investment  in  HealthPoint.  Any losses  incurred by  HealthPoint  will be
allocated  between  Glaxo  Wellcome  and the  Company  in  proportion  to  their
respective cash  contributions  (approximately  85% to Glaxo Wellcome and 15% to
the Company),  while profits will,  generally be allocated  equally  between the
partners.  For the nine months ended  September 30, 1996, the Company's share of
the loss incurred by  HealthPoint  during such period,  primarily  consisting of
allocable start-up costs, was $1,873,000.

      Equifax.  On January 25,  1995,  the  Company  entered  into an  Exclusive
Marketing  Agreement (the  "Marketing  Agreement")  with Equifax  Healthcare EDI
Services,  Inc. ("Equifax EDI"), an "all payer" electronic claims  clearinghouse
and  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  Equifax,   to  establish  "PCN  Link",  a
communication  link  between  Equifax  EDI and users of the  Company's  practice
management software products.  Pursuant to the Marketing Agreement,  the Company
agreed to  generally  promote  Equifax  EDI to users of the  Company's  practice
management  software  products  as the  exclusive  provider of  electronic  data
interchange services, including claims processing and electronic eligibility and
credit  and check  authorization.  During the term of the  Marketing  Agreement,
Equifax EDI agreed to make its electronic data interchange services available to
the Company's  physician  practice customers and to pay to the Company an agreed
upon  percentage of the gross revenues  earned by Equifax EDI for providing such
services to users of the Company's practice management software products.


      On  February  15,  1995,   pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the   Convertible
Subordinated Note Purchase  Agreement between the Company and Equifax (the "Note
Purchase  Agreement),  Equifax, the parent company of Equifax EDI, purchased the
Equifax  Note,  a five  year  convertible  subordinated  promissory  note of the
Company, bearing interest at a rate of 6% per annum, payable quarterly (see Note
8). The Equifax Note was convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion
price of  $5.175.  On May 10,  1996,  in  accordance  with the terms of the Note
Purchase  Agreement,  Equifax  converted the Equifax Note in full into 1,932,217
shares of  Common  Stock  and sold all such  shares  as part of the 1996  Public
Offering.


      On January 12, 1996,  the Company and Equifax  entered into an amended and
restated Marketing  Agreement which,  among other things,  limited the exclusive
coverage  of the  services  provided  by Equifax  EDI to claims  submission  and
related services, on-line eligibility and benefit inquiries for indemnity plans,
credit  card and  check  guarantee  and  verification  services  and  electronic
remittance  services.  In connection with such  amendment,  which has an initial
term of four years,  the Company agreed to share with Equifax EDI certain of the
costs and expenses  associated  with the further  development



                                       15
<PAGE>



and enhancement of PCN Link. Accordingly, the Company will reimburse Equifax for
one third of certain of Equifax's  development costs with respect to PCN Link up
to $250,000  per year for four  years.  Further,  the  Company  agreed to pay to
Equifax $125,000 per month for forty-eight months in order to permit the Company
to offer, as a marketing incentive,  free one-year  introductory  service,  with
certain  limitations,  to  physician  practices  who  subscribe  to the services
offered under the Marketing Agreement (see Note 8).

      During  the third  quarter  of 1996,  National  Data  Corporation  ("NDC")
acquired all of the  outstanding  capital  stock of Equifax EDI. On September 3,
1996,  the  Company,  Equifax  EDI,  Equifax and NDC entered  into an  agreement
whereby,  among other  things,  the Company  waived its right to  terminate  the
Marketing Agreement, pursuant to its terms, as a result of the change of control
of Equifax  EDI.  The  acquisition  of Equifax EDI by NDC will not result in any
changes to the Marketing  Agreement  except that the Company and NDC agreed that
PCN may, in its sole unrestricted discretion, terminate the Marketing Agreement,
on not less than ninety  days  written  notice,  at any time on or after July 1,
1997.


8.    Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt

      In January  1996,  the Company and  Equifax EDI amended and  restated  the
Marketing  Agreement.  As a result, the Company is obligated to pay $125,000 per
month to Equifax EDI over a period of four years. The obligation was recorded at
the net present  value of the payments  discounted  at 11.5% per annum (See Note
7).  Also in January  1996,  the Company  made the final  payment to the Wallaby
selling stockholders.

      The term indebtedness to PMSI was paid in full on April 24, 1996.

      On May 10,  1996,  in  accordance  with the  terms  of the  Note  Purchase
Agreement,  Equifax  converted the Equifax Note in full into 1,932,217 shares of
Common Stock and sold all such shares as part of the 1996 Public Offering.

      The Company's  indebtedness as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995

Company Overview

      The Company is a leader in developing,  marketing and supporting  practice
management  software products for physician  practices.  The Company's  products
include software which, among other things,  automates physician  scheduling and
general patient billing, insurance claims billing and other financial reports.

      Beginning in 1993,  the Company  instituted a strategy of  developing  and
expanding  its business by acquiring  practice  management  software  businesses
having an installed  base of physician  practice  customers and of acquiring and
developing a common software platform to which such customers could migrate over
time.  In order  to  implement  this  strategy,  the  Company  strengthened  its
management team and abandoned its prior strategy of growth primarily through the
licensing of practice management software,  together with computer hardware,  to
new physician  customers at low prices.  The objective of such strategy had been
to develop a network which would generate  revenues  primarily from  advertising
fees paid by  pharmaceutical  companies.  Since  September 1993, the Company has
increased the number of physicians  associated  with sites which have  purchased
the Company's practice  management software products from approximately 2,000 to
approximately 90,000, thereby making the Company one of the largest providers of
practice management software products in the country.

Acquisition  History.  On September  23, 1993,  the Company  acquired  Calyx,  a
company which  develops and has sold practice  management  software  products to
sites having an aggregate of approximately  9,000 physicians,  for $4,050,000 in
cash and notes,  as well as the assumption of certain  liabilities.  On December
31, 1993, the Company  acquired  Wallaby,  a company which develops and has sold
practice   management   software  products  to  sites  having  an  aggregate  of
approximately  20,000 physicians,  for $12,500,000 in cash and notes, as well as
the assumption of certain  liabilities.  On March 11, 1994, the Company acquired
the DOM/2  practice  management



                                       19
<PAGE>



software  business,  a  business  which has sold  practice  management  software
products to sites having an aggregate of  approximately  9,000  physicians,  for
$1,024,000,  as well as the assumption of certain  liabilities.  On November 15,
1994,  the Company  acquired  the Acclaim  Business,  a business  which has sold
practice management software to sites having an aggregate of approximately 6,000
physicians,  for  $1,200,000  in cash and notes,  as well as the  assumption  of
certain liabilities.

      On April 24, 1995, the Company acquired the PMS Business, a business which
develops and, through its own direct sales force,  has sold practice  management
software  products  and  related  equipment,  to sites  having an  aggregate  of
approximately 6,000 physicians,  for approximately $4,861,000 in cash and notes,
as well as the  assumption  of certain  liabilities.  On October 27,  1995,  the
Company acquired  Versyss,  a business which develops and, through both a direct
sales force and through a network of  independent  resellers,  has sold practice
management  software products and related equipment to sites having an aggregate
of  approximately  30,000  physicians.  The purchase  price of such  acquisition
consisted of $12,333,000 in cash,  $11,750,000 in the form of a promissory  note
and the repayment or assumption of  approximately  $45,800,000  in  liabilities.
Versyss also provides integrated information systems to certain industries other
than health care,  including the construction,  timber,  fuel oil and publishing
businesses.

      On July 3, 1996,  pursuant to an asset  purchase  agreement,  the Company,
through a wholly-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of the CTI Business
which,  through a direct  sales force,  has sold  practice  management  software
products  and related  equipment  and other  commercial  software  products  and
related equipment. The purchase price of such acquisition consists of $9,150,000
in cash together  with the  assumption  of  $4,130,526  in  liabilities  and the
cancellation of debt owed to PCN.

      On September 11, 1996,  the Company,  through a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,
acquired all of the issued and  outstanding  capital stock of  Wismer-Martin,  a
provider  of practice  management  systems and  healthcare  information  systems
located in Mead, Washington,  pursuant to a merger agreement,  for $1,980,000 in
cash, 935,000 shares of PCN Common Stock valued at $9,365,615 and the assumption
of $4,737,154 in liabilities.


HealthPoint G.P. Joint Venture. In January 1996, the Company and Glaxo Wellcome,
through  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  formed  HealthPoint  G.P., a joint venture
partnership,  to design and market clinical information  technology products and
services.  These  products and services are expected to consist of  computerized
patient  records  software  products,  clinical  network  capabilities  and data
analysis.  HealthPoint is a general  partnership owned equally by a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company and a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Glaxo  Wellcome and
operates independently of the parent companies. A management committee comprised
of  management  of the  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of  Glaxo  Wellcome  and the
Company, as well as a representative of HealthPoint's  management,  oversees the
venture's operations. The Company has agreed to, generally, use its best efforts
to exclusively  distribute  HealthPoint's products and services to the Company's
customers  on an  exclusive  basis.  Both the  Company and Glaxo  Wellcome  have
contributed product and development assets to HealthPoint and will contribute at



                                       20
<PAGE>



least  $50  million  in  cash to the  venture,  of  which  $43  million  will be
contributed by Glaxo Wellcome and $7 million will be contributed by the Company.
Of such  amounts,  as of September  30,  1996,  Glaxo  Wellcome had  contributed
approximately  $20.0 million and the Company had contributed  approximately $3.9
million, with the remainder to be contributed proportionately by the partners in
semi-annual  installments as needed by the venture through December 31, 1998. In
addition,  the Company has incurred  approximately $0.9 million of costs related
to its investment in  HealthPoint.  Any losses  incurred by HealthPoint  will be
allocated  between  Glaxo  Wellcome  and the  Company  in  proportion  to  their
respective cash  contributions  (approximately  85% to Glaxo Wellcome and 15% to
the Company),  while profits will,  generally be allocated  equally  between the
partners.

      In March 1996, HealthPoint introduced its first product,  HealthPoint ACS,
which is  expected to be  commercially  available  during the fourth  quarter of
1996.  HealthPoint  ACS,  which is designed to interface  (and is expected to be
integrated)  with the PCN Health Network  Information  System,  is developed for
medical offices to enable physicians to, among other things, manage the clinical
information required for treatment at the point of care.


Public  Offering of Common Stock and Equifax Note  Conversion.  On May 10, 1996,
the Company  completed the issuance and sale of 3,667,783 shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the 1996 Public  Offering and on May 24, 1996 an additional  840,000
shares were issued in full upon the exercise of the underwriters  over-allotment
option.  In  addition,  on May  10,  1996,  Equifax  converted  its  $10,000,000
principal  amount  five year  convertible  subordinated  promissory  note of the
Company in full into 1,932,217,  shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of
$5.175,  pursuant  to the terms of the Note  Purchase  Agreement,  and sold such
converted shares as part of the 1996 Public Offering.  As a result of such sale,
the Company received net proceeds of approximately $42 million.


Equifax  Marketing  Agreement.  During the third quarter of 1996,  National Data
Corporation  ("NDC")  acquired all of the  outstanding  capital stock of Equifax
EDI. On September 3, 1996,  the  Company,  Equifax EDI,  Equifax and NDC entered
into an agreement  whereby,  among other things, the Company waived its right to
terminate the  Marketing  Agreement,  pursuant to its terms,  as a result of the
change of control of Equifax EDI. The acquisition of Equifax EDI by NDC will not
result in any changes to the Marketing Agreement except that the Company and NDC
agred that PCN may, in its sole unrestricted discretion, terminate the Marketing
Agreement,  on not less than ninety days written notice, at any time on or after
July 1, 1997.

Results of Operations

                      Three Months Ended September 30, 1996
              Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 1995

      Revenues for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 were  $25,311,356,
an increase of  $15,697,233  or 163% over revenues of  $9,614,123  for the three
months ended September 30, 1995.  Revenues from software license fees, which are
derived  primarily  from  the  sale  of  licenses  for the  PCN  Health  Network
Information System product and the Company's other practice  management software
products,  increased by $2,192,975 or 42% from  $5,197,562  for the three months
ended  September 30, 1995 to $7,390,537 for the three months ended September 30,
1996.  Hardware  revenue  increased  $4,537,352 or 294% from  $1,543,661 for the
three months ended  September 30, 1995 to $6,081,013  for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Versyss, the CTI
Business  and, to a lesser  extent,  Wismer-Martin,  all of which sell  computer
hardware  peripherals  and complete  systems  (hardware and practice  management
software).  Maintenance,  communication  fees and  other  revenue  increased  by
$8,966,906 or 312% from $2,872,900 for the three months ended September 30, 1995
to  $11,839,806  for the three months ended  September 30, 1996 due primarily to
the  acquisitions  of  Versyss,  the  CTI  Business  and,  to a  lesser  extent,
Wismer-Martin,  all of which  generate  service  fees for  software  support and
hardware maintenance.

      Cost of revenues  increased  $7,453,333  or 272% from  $2,735,504  for the
three months ended  September 30, 1995 to $10,188,837 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. Cost of hardware,  including  installation costs,  increased
$2,268,856  or 235% from  $963,474 to  $3,232,330,  primarily  due to  increased
computer  hardware sales  resulting from the  acquisitions  of Versyss,  the CTI
Business  and,  to  a  lesser  extent,  Wismer-Martin.   Software,  maintenance,
communication fees and other costs of revenue,  which include the costs of labor
for software support, hardware maintenance and training, increased $5,184,477 or
293% from $1,772,030 to $6,956,507, primarily as a result of the increased sales
of the  Company's  acquisitions  of Versyss,  the CTI Business  and, to a lesser
extent, Wismer-Martin.

      Total cost of revenues  increased as a percentage  of total  revenues from
28% for the three  months ended  September  30, 1995 to 40% for the three months
ended  September  30, 1996  primarily  as a result of the higher mix of hardware
sales.

      Operating  expenses  increased  $4,399,977 or 104% from $4,232,796 for the
three months ended  September 30, 1995 to $8,632,773  for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. Research and development, selling and marketing, and general
and administrative expenses increased by $886,718,  $2,031,859,  and $1,481,400,
respectively.  The  increase in  operating  expenses  can be  attributed  to the
acquisitions of Versyss, the CTI Business and, to a lesser extent, 



                                       22
<PAGE>



Wismer-Martin  which  resulted from  increased  headcount,  as well as increased
facilities and occupancy costs.

      Interest  income  increased  $163,755  or 223% from  $73,372 for the three
months  September 30, 1995 to $237,127 for the three months ended  September 30,
1996,  primarily as a result of investing  the net proceeds from the 1996 Public
Offering of approximately $42 million received from the sale of 4,507,783 shares
of Common Stock.  Interest expense  decreased  $51,941 or 20%, from $260,437 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $208,496 for the three months ended
September  30, 1996,  primarily as a result of payment in full of  $2,000,000 in
debt  issued  in  April  1995 in  connection  with  the  acquisition  of the PMS
Business,  and the conversion of the  $10,000,000  subordinated  note payable to
Equifax  into  1,932,217  shares  of  Common  Stock as part of the  1996  Public
Offering,  partially offset by debt issued in October of 1995 in connection with
the  acquisition of Versyss,  and the assumption of Versyss' and Wismer Martin's
debt obligations.

      The Company  recorded a provision for income taxes of  $1,368,045  for the
three months ended September 30, 1996,  reflecting an estimated annual effective
tax rate of 21%. In the comparative period ended September 30, 1995, the Company
recorded a 2%  effective  alternative  minimum  rate,  income tax  provision  of
$48,051.  The increase in the Company's  effective tax rate in 1996, as compared
to 1995,  reflects the annual limitation on the Company's ability to utilize net
operating  loss  carryforwards  against  current  period  income  as a result of
previous  changes in  ownership  of the Company  (see  Financial  Condition  and
Liquidity below). The Company will realize the benefit of Versyss' net operating
loss carryforwards as a reduction in goodwill. As a result,  although benefiting
the  Company  on a cash  basis,  utilization  of  Versyss'  net  operating  loss
carryforwards  against  current  period  income  does not  reduce the income tax
provision.  On a cash basis, the Company expects to pay at a rate  substantially
less than the 21% estimated annual effective rate.

      The Company  recorded a loss on its equity  investment in  HealthPoint  of
$662,020,  net  of  taxes,  for  the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996
representing  the  Company's  share of the loss  incurred by the joint  venture,
primarily as a result of start-up costs.

                      Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996
              Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995

      Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were  $68,206,564 an
increase of $43,680,336 or 178% over revenues of $24,526,228 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. Revenues from software license fees, which are derived
primarily  from the sale of  licenses  for the PCN  Health  Network  Information
System product and the Company's other practice  management  software  products,
increased  by  $9,586,414  or 87% from  $10,997,191  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995 to $20,583,605  for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
Hardware  revenue  increased  $13,714,469  or 323% from  $4,250,242 for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1995 to  $17,964,711  for the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1996 primarily as a result of the  acquisitions of Versyss and, to
a lesser extent,  the PMS Business,  the CTI Business



                                       23

and Wismer-Martin  all of which sell computer hardware  peripherals and complete
systems (hardware and practice management software). Maintenance,  communication
fees and other revenue  increased by $20,379,453 or 220% from $9,278,795 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1995 to  $29,658,248  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 due primarily to the acquisitions of Versyss and, to a lesser
extent,  the PMS Business,  the CTI Business and Wismer-Martin all of which also
generate service fees for software support and hardware maintenance.

      Cost of revenues  increased  $20,301,870  or 277% from  $7,320,168 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1995 to  $27,622,038  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. Cost of hardware,  including  installation costs,  increased
$8,434,402 or 330% from  $2,552,760 to  $10,987,162,  primarily due to increased
computer  hardware sales  resulting from the  acquisitions  of Versyss and, to a
lesser extent, the PMS Business,  the CTI Business and Wismer-Martin.  Software,
maintenance,  communication  fees and other costs of revenue,  which include the
costs  of  labor  for  software  support,  hardware  maintenance  and  training,
increased  $11,867,468 or 249% from  $4,767,408 to  $16,634,876,  primarily as a
result of the increased sales of the Company's recently acquired Versyss and, to
a lesser extent, the PMS Business,  the CTI Business and Wismer-Martin  practice
management software products and services.

      Total cost of revenues  increased as a percentage  of total  revenues from
30% for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 to 40% for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1996  primarily  as a result of the higher mix of hardware
sales.

      Operating expenses increased  $11,712,004 or 103% from $11,388,500 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1995 to  $23,100,504  for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. Research and development, selling and marketing, and general
and administrative expenses increased by $2,100,774, $4,925,841, and $4,685,389,
respectively.  The  increase in  operating  expenses  can be  attributed  to the
acquisitions  of Versyss  and, to a lesser  extent,  the PMS  Business,  the CTI
Business and Wismer-Martin which resulted from increased  headcount,  as well as
increased facilities and occupancy costs.

      Interest  income  increased  $221,927  or 95% from  $232,910  for the nine
months  September  30, 1995 to $454,837 for the nine months ended  September 30,
1996,  primarily as a result of investing  the net proceeds from the 1996 Public
Offering of approximately $42 million received from the sale of 4,507,783 shares
of Common Stock on May 10, 1996 and May 24,  1996.  Interest  expense  increased
$575,178 or 59%, from  $971,725 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 to
$1,546,903 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996,  primarily as a result
of debt issued in March and October of 1995 in connection with the  acquisitions
of  Versyss  and  the  PMS  Business,   and  the   assumption  of  Versyss'  and
Wismer-Martin's debt obligations.

      The Company  recorded a provision for income taxes of  $3,441,408  for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996,  reflecting an estimated  annual effective
tax rate of 21%. In the comparative period ended September 30, 1995, the Company
recorded a 2%  effective  alternative  minimum  rate,  income tax  provision  of
$110,051.  The increase in the Company's effective tax rate



                                       24
<PAGE>



in 1996,  as compared to 1995,  reflects the annual  limitation on the Company's
ability to utilize net  operating  loss  carryforwards  against  current  period
income as a result of previous changes in ownership of the Company(see Financial
Condition and Liquidity below). The Company will realize the benefit of Versyss'
net  operating  loss  carryforwards  as a reduction  in  goodwill.  As a result,
although  benefiting  the Company on a cash basis,  utilization  of Versyss' net
operating loss  carryforwards  against current period income does not reduce the
income tax  provision.  On a cash basis,  the  Company  expects to pay at a rate
substantially less than the 21% estimated annual effective rate.

      The Company  recorded a loss on its equity  investment in  HealthPoint  of
$1,479,670,  net of  taxes,  for  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996
representing  the  Company's  share of the loss  incurred by the joint  venture,
primarily as a result of start-up costs.


Financial Condition & Liquidity

      At September 30, 1996 the Company had available cash and cash  equivalents
of  $37,999,731  and working  capital of  $29,447,129  compared to cash and cash
equivalents  of  $15,516,883  and a working  capital  deficit of  $9,006,455  at
December 31, 1995. The increase in cash and cash  equivalents  can be attributed
to cash provided by operations  and financing  activities,  partially  offset by
cash used in investing activities.

      Net cash  provided by operating  activities  was  $6,313,183  for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1996  compared  to net  cash  used  in  operating
activities  of $205,791  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995.  The
increase in cash provided by operating  activities  was achieved  primarily from
the Company's improved results of operations for the nine months ended September
30,  1996,  partially  offset by  payments  of accrued  expenses  related to the
Versyss acquisition and restructuring.

      Cash used in  investing  activities  was  $20,125,019  for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1996  compared  to  $6,345,513  for the nine months  ended
September 30, 1995 and primarily resulted from: (i) approximately $12 million in
cash payments related to the acquisitions of the CTI Business and Wismer-Martin;
(ii) the cash  contribution  of  $3,861,571  and  $855,390  in other  charges in
connection with the formation of the HealthPoint joint venture; (iii) $1,246,883
used  to  acquire  licensing  rights  and  other  intangible  assets;  and  (iv)
approximately $1,202,269 in net capital investment in equipment.

      Cash provided by financing  activities for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 was $36,294,684  primarily  related to $41,773,008 in proceeds received
from the 1996 Public  Offering  and cash  generated  from the  exercise of stock
options  partially  offset by payment in full of the  $3,500,000  in  promissory
notes  issued  in  connection  with  the  acquisitions  of  Wallaby  and the PMS
Business,  plus accrued  interest  thereon,  plus principal  payments of various
long-term debt, notes payable and capital lease agreements.



                                       25
<PAGE>



      Significant payment obligations of the Company subsequent to September 30,
1996 include:  (i) the payment in October 1996 of $5,875,000  (which was paid on
October 27, 1996) in  connection  with the Versyss  acquisition,  together  with
accrued and unpaid  interest  thereon;  (ii) up to  approximately  $3,116,000 in
capital  contributions  required to be made by the Company to  HealthPoint;  and
(iii) the payment of  $125,000  per month to Equifax  EDI,  now owned by NDC, in
accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Marketing Agreement, dated
January 12, 1996 between Equifax EDI and the Company.

      On May 10, 1996,  the Company  completed the public  offering of 5,600,000
shares of its  Common  Stock at a price of $10 per  share.  Included  within the
shares of Common  Stock sold  pursuant to this public  offering  were  1,932,217
shares of Common Stock issued to Equifax upon  conversion  by Equifax in full of
the Equifax  Note.  In addition to the shares issued on May 10, 1996, as part of
the  public  offering,  an  over-allotment  option  was  exercised  to  issue an
additional 840,000 shares on May 24, 1996 at $10 per share. The Company received
net  proceeds  of  approximately  $42  million  from the  sale of the  remaining
4,507,783  shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this public  offering,  and
will  receive the benefit of the  elimination  of $600,000 per annum in interest
payments  under the Equifax Note.  The Company  expects that its operating  cash
flow,  together with the proceeds from the sale of Common Stock  pursuant to the
1996 Public  Offering will be sufficient to fund the Company's  working  capital
requirements  and  permit the  Company to  continue  its  acquisition  strategy.
However,  the Company's  ability to continue to pursue its acquisition  strategy
will be  affected  by the  extent  and pace at which the  Company  utilizes  its
available resources for acquisitions.

      On September 30, 1996,  the Company had net operating  loss  carryforwards
for Federal income tax purposes of  approximately  $65 million which expire over
the next 14 years. This includes approximately $11,000,000 of net operating loss
carryforwards  from Versyss which are subject to separate return limitation year
rules. The Company  believes it has previously  experienced  ownership  changes,
which, under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended,  have resulted in a significant  annual  limitation on the Company's
ability  to  use  net  operating  losses  in  the  future.  Net  operating  loss
carryforward  limitations,  combined with recognizing the benefit from utilizing
Versyss' net operating loss carryforwards against goodwill,  has resulted in the
Company  increasing  its  provision for income taxes to an effective tax rate of
21% (as compared to the alternative minimum tax rate applied in 1995).  However,
as a result of certain tax accounting  preference items available to the Company
and the utilization of Versyss' net operating loss carryforwards,  the Company's
cash effective tax rate is estimated to be in the range of 2% to 6% for 1996.
