ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

      OVERVIEW.

      GENERAL.  The  Company is a physician  practice  management  company  that
develops  contractual  affiliations  with  physician  practices that provide for
management by the Company and clinical autonomy for the physicians.  The Company
also  offers  a full  array  of  management  services  as a  management  service
organization  under long term service contracts,  to both affiliated  physicians
and other independent healthcare entities,  directly and through its subsidiary,
Healthcare Professional  Management,  Inc. ("HPM"). HPM also provides management
services on a consulting  basis to over 200  physicians  in  Pennsylvania,  West
Virginia and Ohio.

      For the year ended December 31, 1996, the medical groups  affiliated  with
the Company  derived  approximately  35% of their medical  service  revenue from
service provided under Medicare and Medicaid programs and approximately 30% from
contractual  fee-for-service  arrangements with numerous payors and managed care
programs,  respectively,  none of which individually aggregated more than 10% of
medical  service  revenue.  The  remaining  35% of medical  service  revenue was
derived  from various  fee-for-service  payors.  Changes in the medical  group's
payor mix can affect the Company's revenue.  Management  believes that the payor
mix during the first,  second and third quarters of 1997 remained  approximately
the same as for the year ended December 31, 1996.

      RESTATEMENT.  During 1996 management restated the prior periods' financial
statements for certain  corrections of accounting  principles and misapplication
of facts that existed at the time the financial  statements  were prepared.  The
aggregate amount of the restatement resulted in a reduction in earnings from the
previously  reported net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 of
$717,000 to a net loss of $836,000.

</TABLE>

     COMPARATIVE QUARTERLY RESULTS

     At September 30, 1997, the Company  managed 29 practices  having a total of
98 physicians in nine states  pursuant to its standard  equity  arrangements  as
compared to 25  practices  having a total of 32  physicians  in eight  states at
September 30, 1996.  During the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1997,
the  Company  entered  into  such  arrangements  with  one and  nine  additional
practices,  respectively,  as compared to none and twelve for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.  Due to the drop in the Company's
stock value and cash  reserves  they have  hindered  the  Company's  ability  to
acquire additional  practices.  During the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997, the Company  terminated  four and no such  arrangements as compared to
none and five for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996. Changes in
the results of  operations  for the three and nine months  ended  September  30,
1997,  compared to the three and nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  were
caused primarily by affiliations with these additional practices,  the continued
building of a corporate  infrastructure,  write-off  of  franchise  fees and the
settlement of certain litigation, with their corresponding professional fees.



                                       9

     NET REVENUE increased  $605,000,  or 22% to $3,304,000 for the three months
ended  September 30, 1997 as compared to  $2,699,000  for the three months ended
September 30, 1996. Net Revenue  increased  approximately  $4,294,000 or 67%, to
$10,729,000  for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 as  compared  to
$6,435,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Medical service revenue
prior  to any  provision  for  doubtful  accounts,  contractual  adjustments  or
adjustments for amounts retained by medical groups increased $2,062,000, or 36%,
to $7,795,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $5,733,000
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. For the same periods, revenue from HPM
increased  $6,000,  or 3%, from $238,000 to $244,000.  Medical  service  revenue
prior  to any  provision  for  doubtful  accounts,  contractual  adjustments  or
adjustments for amounts  retained by medical groups  increased  $10,893,000,  or
82%, to $24,254,000  for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to
$13,361,000  for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. For the same periods,
revenue from HPM decreased  $104,000,  or 11%,  from  $931,000 to $829,000.  The
Company's  growth in revenue is  primarily  attributable  to the addition of new
management services agreements.

     OPERATING  EXPENSES  consist of (i) clinic  salaries,  wages and  benefits,
clinic  laboratory and fees, clinic rent, other clinic costs and consulting fees
and (ii) depreciation and amortization.  Clinic expenses  increased by $447,000,
or 20%, to $2,661,000 for the quarter ended  September 30, 1997 from  $2,214,000
for the comparable period in 1996. Clinic expenses  increased by $2,801,000,  or
53%, to $8,080,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 from $5,279,000
for the comparable  period in 1996. The increases in clinic expenses for each of
the respective periods reflects the addition of new physician affiliations.

     Depreciation and amortization  expenses for the quarter ended September 30,
1997 increased by $177,000,  or 69%, to $434,000 as compared to $257,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased by $230,000,  or 38%, to $843,000
as compared to $613,000  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996.  This
increase was primarily the result of the  amortization and depreciation of newly
acquired management services agreements and fixed assets.

     INCOME FROM OPERATIONS decreased $19,000 or 8%, to $209,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1997 from $228,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Income
from Operations increased $1,263,000, or 233%, to $1,806,000 for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997 from  $543,000  for the  comparable  period in 1996.
Substantially  all of this  increase  was  attributable  to the  addition of new
affiliated physician practices.

     GENERAL AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES consist of salaries paid to corporate
staff,  administrative,  legal and accounting and development costs. General and
administrative  costs  increased  by  $647,000,  or 64%, to  $1,656,000  for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $1,009,000 for the quarter ended September
30, 1996. General and administrative  costs increased by $1,555,000,  or 65%, to
$3,961,000 for the first nine months of 1997 from $2,406,000 for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1996.  These  


                                       10
<PAGE>

increases were primarily the result of a build-up in the Company's financial and
operational staff, additional  professional and additional  administrative costs
incurred  in the  first  three  and  nine  months  of  1997 as  compared  to the
corresponding periods in 1996.

     OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)  increased by $1,361,000 to an expense of $1,416,000
for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997 from an expense of $55,000 for the
comparable  period  in  1996.  The  increase  is  principally  the  result  of a
$1,630,000  increase in clinic  terminations  and reserves for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997,  from no expense for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1996.
Other Income (Expense) increased by $625,000 to an expense of $1,504,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $879,000 for the comparable  period in
1996.  The increase  consists  principally  of a  $1,630,000  net loss on clinic
terminations  and  reserves  in the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 as
compared to no such expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, offset
by a decrease in net loss on litigation  settlements  from $749,000 for the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1996 to no such  expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.

     Interest  expense  increased by  $155,000,  to $310,000 for the nine months
ended  September  30,  1997 from  $155,000  for the first  nine  months of 1996,
primarily  as a  result  of  increased borrowings  under  the  Company's  credit
facility.

     Interest  income was $29,000 for the quarter  ended  September 30, 1997 and
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Interest income increased to $109,000
for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1997 from $70,000 for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1996.  This increase in interest  income  resulted from the
investment  of a portion of funds  received  from a private  placement  that was
completed in May 1996.

     INCOME  TAXES were zero for the three and nine months ended  September  30,
1997 and 1996. The Company had net operating losses for federal and state income
tax purposes at September  30, 1997 of  approximately  $11,000,000  which can be
carried  forward and used to offset the Company's  future taxable income through
the year 2009.

     NET LOSS  increased  $2,027,000,  or 242% to a loss of  $2,863,000  for the
quarter  ended  September  30, 1997 from a net loss of $836,000  for the quarter
ended  September 30, 1996. The increase in the net loss was primarily the result
of the increase in clinic  terminations of $1,630,000 and a $647,000 increase in
general  and  administrative  expenses,  offset by an  increase  in income  from
forgiveness of indebtedness of $318,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
as compared to the same period in 1996.  Net Loss  increased  $917,000 or 33% to
$3,659,000  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 from a net loss of
$2,742,000  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996.  The increase was the
result  of  the  clinic   terminations  of  $1,630,000  offset  by  $318,000  in
forgiveness off indebtedness income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
as  compared  to no such  expense  and  income  items in the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1996.  The  increase  was also  attributable  to an  increase in
operating  revenue of $1,263,000  and an increase in general and  administrative
expenses  of  $1,555,000  offset by


                                       11
<PAGE>

a decrease in net loss on litigation settlements of $749,000 for the nine months
ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to the nine months  ended  September  30,
1996.

     NET LOSS PER SHARE  increased to ($.18) in the three months ended September
30, 1997 as compared to ($.06) per share for the  corresponding  period in 1996.
Net Loss per Share


increased to ($.24) in the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to
($.21) per share for the corresponding  period in 1996. These increases resulted
from the increase in net loss and a 29% and 33% increase in the weighted average
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, for the respective periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     SUMMARY. The Company has continued to experience losses from operations and
negative  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  for the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1997  and  the  year  ended   December  31,  1996.   Significant
contributing  factors to the loss for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997,
were the rapid  growth of the  Company,  the  resulting  increase in general and
administrative expenses and the losses incurred on terminations. The increase in
cash used in  operations  in the first  nine  months of 1997 was  primarily  the
result of the  Company's  decision to defer the timely  collection of management
fees to  support  the  growth of  practices  under  management  agreements.  The
Company's  decision  to  reinvest  funds in medical  practices  that are already
owned,  and fund  acquisitions of additional  medical  practices along with cash
required to meet debt obligations and fund operations has significantly  reduced
the amount of cash  available to the Company.  As a result,  the Company will be
required to seek additional  financing from banks,  institutional  investors and
other  sources and to reduce or contain  costs in order to fund  operations  and
meet obligations and future commitments.

      WORKING CAPITAL.  At September 30, 1997, the Company's net working capital
was  $1,665,000,  as compared to $5,103,000 at December 31, 1996.  The principal
components of the Company's  working  capital are cash and accounts  receivable.
Unrestricted  cash  decreased  to $52,000 from  $3,400,000  at December 31, 1996
primarily  as  a  result  of  cash  used  in  operations.   Accounts  receivable
principally  represent  receivables  from patients and third parties for medical
services provided by physician groups. Accounts receivable are a function of net
physician  practice  revenue  rather than net revenue of the  Company.  Accounts
receivable  increased $185,000,  or 4%, to $4,665,000 at September 30, 1997 from
$4,480,000 at December 31, 1996,  reflecting  the increase in practice  billings
that the Company manages.  Physician receivables were $2,660,000 at December 31,
1996, as compared to $3,029,000 at September 30, 1997,  reflecting the Company's
decision  to  continue to reinvest  funds in medical  practices  managed.  Total
current   liabilities  at  September  30,  1997  decreased  to  $6,217,000  from
$6,970,000 on December 31, 1996 primarily as a result of lower  borrowings under
the  Company's  credit line and notes  payable.  The ratio of current  assets to
current  liabilities  was 1.27 to 1.00 at September 30, 1997 as compared to 1.73
to 1.00 at December 31, 1996.

     CASH FLOWS.  Net cash provided in investing  activities for the nine months
ended  September 30, 1997 was $383,000,  compared to net cash used of $2,100,000
in investing  activities for the  comparable  period in 1996. The difference was
primarily the result of a  decrease in restricted cash required by the Company's
credit  facility  from  $1,264,000 to $0 and a decrease of $1,219,000 in amounts
used to fund acquisitions.

     Net  cash  used by  financing  activities  during  the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1997 was  $529,000,  compared  to  $9,010,000  cash  provided by
financing  activities  during  the first  nine  months of 1996.  The  difference
reflects the private  placement of Common Stock on May 31, 1996,  which  yielded
proceeds,  net of offering  expenses,  of $7.2 million as well as an increase in
the  repayment of debt of  $2,924,000  offset by a decrease in the proceeds from
debt issuances of $1,645,000.

     Net cash used in  operations  for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997
was $3,202,000,  a $978,000  increase over funds used in operations for the nine
months ended  September  30, 1996.  While the net loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997  increased to $3,659,000  from the net loss of $2,742,000 for
the nine months  ended  September  30,  1996,  the  increase in net cash used in
operations was primarily the result of a $1,630,000 in clinic terminations.

     DEBT FACILITIES.  The Company's  outstanding debt obligations  consist of a
line of credit,  notes payable,  long-term  debt, and  convertible  subordinated
debt.

     At September 30, 1997, the Company's  long-term debt in aggregate principal
amount of $7,318,000 (including current portion of $2,593,000) consisted of:

        (i)   Mortgage  payable of $1,115,000 to a banks,  collateralized by a
              building with a net book value of $1,665,000 with interest at 10%
             
        (ii)  Unsecured  note  payable  to a finance  company  in the amount of
              $375,000 with interest at 7.9%
             
       (iii)  Note payable to a computer  vendor of $738,000  with  interest at
              10%
             
        (iv)  Capital lease  obligations in the aggregate  amount of $2,028,000
              with varying interest rates not exceeding 26.5%
             
        (v)   Notes payable to various  individuals in  conjunction  with asset
              acquisitions, of $2,989,000 at 10% with varying maturity dates
             
        (vi)  Other debt in the amount of $73,000
             
              
      SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENTS

      On October  15,  1997,  the Company  entered  into a  $1,250,000  accounts
receivable  factoring  line of credit  under which  approximately  $572,000  was
outstanding  and fully 


                                       13
<PAGE>

repaid on November  24, 1997,  at which time the line of credit was  terminated.
The  Company  borrowings  were  limited  to a formula  equal to 40% of  accounts
receivable  outstanding  for less than 90 days at the time of the  borrowing.  A
factoring commission of 1% for each 30 day period in addition to interest at the
published  prime  rate plus 2% could be  charged on  outstanding  borrowings.  A
reserve of 5% of the total outstanding invoices was also required. This facility
was guaranteed by certain officers of the Company.

     The  Company  entered  into  a  new  accounts  receivable  credit  facility
effective as of November 12, 1997, under which 80% of the net collectible  value
of the Company's  accounts  receivable  could be advanced up to $2,500,000.  The
Company initially  borrowed  approximately  $1,600,000 on November 24, 1997, the
proceeds  of which  were  used to repay  the  outstanding  borrowings  under the
existing factoring accounts  receivable line described above and to fund working
capital  needs.  Various  additional  borrowings  and  repayments  have occurred
through December 30, 1997 at which time $2,198,000 was outstanding.

     Management  recognizes that the Company must generate additional  financial
resources and reduce operating  expenses.  To address future cash  requirements,
management  developed  a  business  plan in the  fourth  quarter  of  1997  that
includes:

          -    Securing   additional   financing  to  cover   anticipated   cash
               requirements.

          -    Reducing advances to physicians.

          -    Reducing   compensation   expense   included   in   general   and
               administrative expense by headcount and salary reductions.

          -    Reducing executive compensation by 30% effective November 1, 1997
               and  deferral  of  1998  senior   management   compensation,   if
               necessary.

          -    Completing  refinancings of  Company-owned  medical buildings and
               equipment.

          -    Curtailing   acquisition   activity   until  cash  resources  are
               available  and  reducing   associated  travel  and  entertainment
               expenditures.

There can be no assurance that the additional financing, other sources of funds,
or  other  cost  reductions  as  described  above  will be  achieved.  If  these
financings,  other sources of funds or other  reductions are not achieved within
acceptable  ranges,  the  Company's  liquidity  would  be  materially  adversely
affected.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings per Share,"
which is required to be adopted by the Company for the year ended  December  31,
1997. The  provisions  of SFAS No. 128 will be  adopted in the 1997 consolidated
financial  statements.  

  
                                       14
<PAGE>

At that time,  the Company will be required to change the method  currently used
to compute  earnings per share and to restate all prior  periods.  Under the new
requirements  for  calculating  earnings  per  share,  the  dilutive  effect  of
convertible  preferred stock will be excluded for "basic earnings per share" and
only included in "diluted" earnings per share.  Further,  contingently  issuable
shares will be included in basic earnings per share only if all


the necessary  conditions have been satisfied by the end of the period and it is
only a matter of time before they are issued.  The impact of SFAS No. 128 on the
calculation of earnings per share for the year ending  December 31, 1997 has not
been determined.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      The Company is presently engaged in various  proceedings  occurring in the
course of its business of entering its affiliations with physician practices and
medical  related  entities.  However,  except as described in the Company's Form
10-KSB,  management  believes that the ultimate outcome of these  proceedings is
not expected to be material to operations or the Company's financial position.

      In addition, Alastair Knott ("Plaintiff") filed a civil action on November
17,  1997,  in the United  States  District  Court for the  District  of Arizona
against MAM, John Regan, Sandy Regan, Dennis Calvert, Michael Zaic, David Lilly,
Esquire,  Law  Offices of Lance N. Kerr,  and  Holladay  Stock  Transfer,  Inc.,
setting forth claims for damages in excess of $900,000 on theories of alter ego,
civil conspiracy, breach of oral contract, breach of written contract, breach of
covenants of good faith and fair dealings,  fraud,  breach of fiduciary  duties,
conversion  and bad faith  denial  of  contract.  These  claims  arise  from the
allegedly wrongful  cancellation of a stock certificate  evidencing  Plaintiff's
alleged  ownership of 194,425 shares of the Common Stock of MAM. MAM has not yet
responded  substantively to the complaint,  but denies all liability and intends
