OVERVIEW
- --------
Juniper  Group,  Inc.  (the  "Company")is  a Nevada  Corporation.  Its principal
businesses are composed of two segments,  healthcare and entertainment:  (i) the
healthcare  operations are conducted through two subsidiaries of Juniper Medical
Systems,  Inc. ("JMSI"),  which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company: (a)
PartnerCare,  Inc. ("PCI"), a managed care revenue enhancement company providing
various types of services such as: Physician Practice  Management,  Managed Care
Revenue  Enhancement,   Comprehensive   Pricing  Reviews,   MSOs  and  Liability
Assessment  Programs to newly evolving integrated hospital and physician markets
and (b) Juniper Healthcare  Containment  Systems,  Inc.  ("Containment"),  which
develops and provides full service healthcare  networks for insurance  companies
and managed  care  markets in the  Northeast  U.S.;  and (ii) the  entertainment
segment is conducted principally through Juniper Pictures, Inc. ("Pictures"),  a
wholly owned subsidiary of Juniper  Entertainment,  Inc. ("JEI"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company,  which engages in the  acquisition,  exploitation and
distribution of rights to films to the various media (i.e., home video,  pay-per
view, pay television,  cable  television,  networks and  independent  syndicated
television  stations)  in the domestic and foreign  marketplace.  The  Company's
operations  are based at 111 Great Neck Road,  Suite 604,  Great Neck,  New York
11021.

As part of its services to physician  groups,  JMSI is developing a new business
that will seek to offer  physicians the capability to provide  advanced  nuclear
cardiac  testing in the  convenience  of their office.  This  business,  Nuclear
Cardiac  Imaging,  Inc.  ("NCI"),  is owned  49% by JMSI and is  reflected  as a
minority interest in the Company's financial statements.

Year 2000
- ---------

the Company has completed the process of becoming  year 2000  compliant.  All of
the  Company's  systems  have been  updated so that none of its systems  will be
affected by the Year 2000. This process cost the Company less than $5,000.

the Company is in the process of  identifying  and  contacting  the hospitals it
services to determine the extent to which the Company's business may be affected
by those  third  parties  failure to remedy  their own Year 2000  issues.  It is
expected  that full  identification  will be completed  by March 31,  1999.  The
company does not currently have any formal information  concerning the Year 2000
compliance status of the hospitals it services but has received indications that
most of the hospitals are working on Year 2000 compliance. In the event that any
of the significant  hospitals that the Company  services do not successfully and
timely achieve Year 2000 compliance,  the Company's business or operations could
be adversely affected.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Three Months Ended  September 30, 1998 vs Three Months Ended  September 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue  related to the  Healthcare  segment  increased to $457,000 in the third
quarter of 1998 from $292,000 in the third quarter of 1997,  representing  a 57%
increase.  The  increase  in  revenue  during  the  third  quarter  of 1998  was
predominately  attributed to PCI.  PCI's revenue  increased to $399,000 in 1998,
from $101,000 in 1997. This was the result of PCI's success in marketing its new
Managed  Care Revenue  Enhancement  Program,  resulting  in a growing  number of
hospital  clients.  Revenue from  Containment  decreased to $58,000 in the third
quarter of 1998,  compared to  approximately  $190,000  in the third  quarter of
1997, a 69% decrease.  This is a result of changes  instituted in December 1997,
whereby  Containment  discontinued  a joint venture  arrangement,  and the joint
ventures  arrangements  with the Guardian  Insurance  Company.  The loss of this
business has been temporarily replaced with a settlement agreement involving the
joint  venture,  which  will  generate  revenue  with no  corresponding  expense
throughout 1998.

The entertainment  segment recognized revenue of $36,000 in the third quarter of
1998, and $20,000 in the third quarter of 1997.  Certain of the Company's  films
that  generated  revenue when the contracts were signed are still under license,
and are  currently  being  aired by the  licensees.  The  Company  is  currently
utilizing significant resources to build the healthcare segment of its business,
and has not devoted resources toward the promotion and solicitation of the films
in 1997.  However,  the Company has begun  looking for outside  salesmen to help
market and marchandise the films that are not currently under license.

Healthcare  operating  costs  decreased to $46,000 in the third  quarter of 1998
from $164,000 in the third  quarter of 1997, a 72% decrease.  As a percentage of
revenue,  operating costs of the healthcare  operations  decreased to 10% in the
third quarter of 1998 from 56% in the third quarter of 1997. The decrease is due
to the fact that operating costs for  Containment  were lower because of the new
Settlement   Agreement  in  connection  with  the  discontinued   joint  venture
arrangement.

Selling,  general and administrative expenses decreased to $432,000 in the third
quarter of 1998 from $511,000 in the third quarter of 1997, a 15% decrease. This
change is primarily due to increases in consulting fees of $20,000, salaries and
related  taxes of  $7,000,  legal  expense of  $10,000,  interest  of  $10,000,
commissions of $37,000, other office expense of $3,000, offset by a reduction of
travel expenses of $7,000, public relations expense of $87,000, bad debt expense
of $30,000,  insurance of $20,000 and  depreciation and amortization of $22,000.
Most of the  increase was related to the  management  changes in PCI during 1997
and  the   corresponding   redirection  of  time  and  resources  of  management
initiatives to re-engineer  and diversify  product lines through the development
of the new information systems.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Nine Months Ended  September  30, 1998 vs Nine Months Ended  September  30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revenue  related to the  Healthcare  segment  decreased to $950,000  through the
third  quarter  of 1998  from  $1,090,000  through  the third  quarter  of 1997,
representing a 13% decrease.  The decrease in revenue  through the third quarter
of 1998 was  predominately  attributed  to  Containment,  which had  revenue  of
approximately   $220,000  through  the  third  quarter  of  1998,   compared  to
approximately  $658,000 in the third quarter of 1997, a 67% decrease.  This is a
result of changes instituted in December 1997, whereby Containment  discontinued
a joint  venture  arrangement,  and the  joint  ventures  arrangements  with the
Guardian  Insurance  Company.  The loss of this  business  has been  temporarily
replaced with a settlement  agreement  involving the joint  venture,  which will
generate  revenue with no corresponding  expense  throughout 1998. PCI's revenue
increased to $730,000 in 1998,  from $432,000 in 1997, a 69% increase.  This was
the result of PCI's  change in direction  from a DRG audit  company to a Managed
Care Revenue Enhancement company.

The  entertainment  segment  recognized  $46,000  in revenue  through  the third
quarter of 1998, and $20,000  through the third quarter of 1997.  Certain of the
Company's films that generated  revenue when the contracts were signed are still
under license,  and are currently  being aired by the licensees.  the Company is
currently utilizing significant resources to build the healthcare segment of its
business, and has not devoted resources toward the promotion and solicitation of
the films in 1997.  However,  the Company has begun looking for outside salesmen
to help market and marchandise the films that are not currently under license.

Healthcare  operating costs  decreased to $102,000  through the third quarter of
1998 from $465,000 in the third quarter of 1997, a 78% decrease. As a percentage
of  revenue,  operating  costs of the  healthcare  operations  decreased  to 11%
through the third  quarter of 1998 from 43%  through the third  quarter of 1997.
The decrease is due to the fact that operating costs for Containment  were lower
because of the new  Settlement  Agreement in  connection  with the  discontinued
joint venture arrangement.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $1,327,000 through the
third  quarter of 1998 from  $1,373,000  through the third quarter of 1997, a 3%
decrease.  This change is  primarily  due to  increases  in bad debt  expense of
$40,000(due  to  a  more  conservative  evaluation  of  the  Company's  accounts
receivable),  Director's  Compensation  expense of $16,000,  consulting  fees of
$39,000,  commissions  of $37,000,  interest  of  $26,000,  and rent of $11,000,
offset by a reduction  of public  relations  expenses of $75,000,  insurance  of
$20,000,  depreciation of $22,000, office expense of $13,000,  telephone expense
of $15,000, salaries of $52,000 and SEC costs of $18,000 . Most of this decrease
was related to the management  changes in PCI during 1997 and the  corresponding
redirection of time and resources of management  initiatives to re-engineer  and
diversify product lines through the development of the new information systems.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Working  capital  deficiency  at September  30, 1998 was  $403,000,  compared to
working  capital  deficiency  of  $765,000 at December  31,  1997.  The ratio of
current assets to current  liabilities was .73:1 at September 30, 1998 and .42:1
at December 31, 1997.  Cash flow used in operations  during the third quarter of
1998 was  $372,000,  compared to cash flow used in  operations  during the third
quarter of 1997, of $116,000.

Accounts  receivable - trade increased to $799,000 from $363,000 at December 31,
1997.

Accounts payable increased to $1,040,000 from $835,000 at December 31, 1997.

Although the Company plans to continue to expand its healthcare  business to the
extent  that  resources  are  available,   the  Company  has  no  firm  material
commitments  for capital  expenditures in other areas of its business and has no
plans to acquire additional films.

The  Company  believes  that it may not have  sufficient  liquidity  to meet its
operating  cash  requirements  for the current  level of  operations  during the
remainder of 1998. the Company will require additional  financing.  There can be
no  assurance  that  financing  will be  available,  or if  available,  on terms
acceptable to the Company.  If the Company is unable to fund its operating  cash
flow needs, the Company may be required to substantially curtail operations.

the Company currently does not have any bank lines of credit.

At the Company's annual meeting held on February 12, 1997, management eliminated
shareholders'  pre-emptive rights,  which previously existed under New York law.
Notwithstanding these rights, the Company has on a number of occasions, prior to
the elimination of those  pre-emptive  rights,  issued shares without  affording
shareholders  the  opportunity  to  exercise   pre-emptive  rights  and  without
procuring  waivers  of such  rights.  No  shareholder  has  alleged  any  damage
resulting  to him as a  result  of the sale of  shares  by the  Company  without
offering  pre-emptive  rights. The amount of damages incurred by shareholders by
reason of the failure of the Company to offer pre-emptive rights, if any, is not
ascertainable  with any degree of accuracy.  Management  believes that if claims
were asserted alleging damages, the Company may have valid defenses.

PART II:   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
        -----------------

     On  April  17,  1998,  Juniper  Group,  Inc.,  a  Nevada  corporation  (the
"Registrant"),  entered into a Stipulation of Settlement (the  "Settlement")  to
settle a lawsuit (the "Action") by Ordinary Guy, Inc. and Crow Productions, Inc.
(the  "Plaintiffs")  against the Registrant,  Juniper  Pictures,  Inc.,  Juniper
Entertainment,  Inc.,  and Vlado P.  Hreljanovic  that was pending in the United

Item 3.  Defaults  Upon Senior  Securities
         ---------------------------------

Preferred Stockholders are entitled to receive from assets legally available for
payment a dividend at a rate of 12% per annum of the Preferred Stock liquidation
preference of $2.00 (or $.24 per annum) per share, payable quarterly on March 1,
June 1,  September 1 and December 1, in cash or in shares of Common Stock having
an equivalent  fair market value.  Unpaid  dividends on the Company's  Preferred
Stock cumulate.  The quarterly payments due on September 1 and December 1, 1992,
and all  payments  due in 1993,  in  1994,  in  1995,  in 1996,  in 1997 and the
payments  due on March 1, June 1, and  September  1, 1998 have not yet been paid
and are  accumulating.  These  dividends  have not been declared  because earned
surplus is not available to pay a cash  dividend.  Accordingly,  dividends  will
accumulate until such time as earned surplus is available to pay a cash dividend
or until a post  effective  amendment to the  Company's  registration  statement
covering a certain number of common shares reserved for the payment of Preferred
Stock  dividends  is filed and declared  effective,  or if such number of common
shares are  insufficient  to pay  cumulative  dividends,  then until  additional
common shares are registered with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (SEC).
No  dividends  shall be  declared  or paid on the  Common  Stock  (other  than a
dividend  payable solely in shares of Common Stock) and no Common Stock shall be
purchased,  redeemed or acquired by the Company unless full cumulative dividends
on the Preferred  Stock have been paid or declared,  or cash or shares of Common
Stock have been set apart which is sufficient  to pay all  dividends  accrued on
the Preferred Stock for all past and then current dividend periods.

As stated above,  pursuant to the terms of the Preferred  Stock, the Company has
the option of making  quarterly  dividend  payments  in cash or shares of Common
Stock. the Company does not intend to make any Preferred Stock dividends in cash
in the foreseeable future.  Prospectively,  subject to the Company's  Prospectus
being current,  and a sufficient  number of common shares being  registered with
the SEC, the Company anticipates making quarterly dividend payments in shares of
Common Stock for the  foreseeable  future  including the payments which have not
yet been made.  The total cash value of the  arrearage  of unpaid  dividends  is
$354,000.
