                   OXFORD HEALTH PLANS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)  Basis of Presentation

     The interim condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  included herein
have been prepared by Oxford  Health Plans,  Inc.  ("Oxford")  and  Subsidiaries
(collectively,   the  "Company")  without  audit,  pursuant  to  the  rules  and
regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  (the "SEC").  Certain
information  and  footnote  disclosures,  normally  included  in  the  financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
have  been  condensed  or  omitted   pursuant  to  SEC  rules  and  regulations;
nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are
adequate  to make  the  information  presented  not  misleading.  The  condensed
consolidated  financial  statements and notes should be read in conjunction with
the audited  consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto as of and for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995,  included in
the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC in March 1996.

     On July 3, 1995, a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of Oxford merged with and into
OakTree Health Plan, Inc. ("OakTree"),  a Philadelphia-based  health maintenance
organization. The stockholders of OakTree received 1,177,047 newly issued shares
(2,354,094  shares  after  giving  effect to the March  1996  two-for-one  split
described  below) of Oxford's common stock in exchange for all of the issued and
outstanding shares of OakTree's capital stock. The merger was accounted for as a
pooling  of  interests  and,   accordingly,   the  prior  year  amounts  in  the
accompanying  financial  statements  have been restated to include the financial
position and results of operations of OakTree.

     In the opinion of management,  all  adjustments,  consisting only of normal
recurring  adjustments,  necessary to present fairly the consolidated  financial
position  of the Company  with  respect to the  interim  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements  have been made. The results of operations for the interim
periods are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  for the
full year.

(2)  Earnings Per Share

     On March 15, 1996, the Board of Directors  approved a two-for-one  split of
the Company's  common stock effected by  distribution of a dividend of one share
of common  stock for each share of common stock  outstanding  on March 25, 1996.
The  two-for-one  split was  effectuated  on April 1, 1996.  Earnings  per share
amounts  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  statements  of earnings  have been
restated to reflect the stock split.

(3)  Public Offering

     On April 8, 1996,  the Company  completed a registered  public  offering of
5,227,272  newly issued post-split shares of common stock from which the Company
realized net proceeds of approximately $220 million.

                              Results of Operations

The three months ended March 31, 1996 compared with the three months ended March
31, 1995

     Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $658.1 million, up
97% from $334.4  million  during the same period in the prior year. Net earnings
for the first  quarter of 1996  totaled  $18.5  million,  or 25 cents per share,
compared  with $10.4  million,  or 14 cents per share,  for the first quarter of
1995.

     Total commercial  premiums earned for the three months ended March 31, 1996
increased  85% to $471.7  million  from the same period in the prior year.  This
increase is  attributable  to a 86% increase in member  months in the  Company's
commercial  health care programs,  including a 91% member months increase in the
Freedom Plan. Premium rates of commercial programs were substantially  unchanged
from the first  quarter of 1995 but were 1.6% higher than in the fourth  quarter
of 1995.

     Premiums earned from government  programs  increased 141% to $176.5 million
in the first quarter of 1996 compared with $73.3 million in the first quarter of
1995.  Membership  growth  accounted  for most of the change as member months of
Medicare  programs  increased  189% when  compared  with  the  prior  year first
quarter, while member months of  Medicaid programs  increased  by  71%  over the
level of  the  prior  year  first  quarter.  Premiums  earned  in the  Company's
Medicaid programs are now expected  to  decline at a rate slightly  in excess of
8% for the year, and greater than expected increases in Medicaid  membership are
increasing  the impact of those decreases on the Company's results.

     Net  third-party  administration  revenues for the three months ended March
31,  1996  increased  10% to $3.2  million  from $2.9 for the same period in the
prior  year,  attributable  to a 22%  increase  in per member per month revenue,
partially offset, by a 9.0% decrease in member months.

     Net  investment  income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased
102% to $6.7  million from $3.3 million for the same period last year due to the
increase in invested cash generated by cash flow from operations.

     The medical-loss ratio (health care services expense stated as a percentage
of premium revenues) was 79.9% for the first quarter of 1996 compared with 76.9%
for the first quarter of 1995 and 77.5% for the full year 1995.  The increase is
attributable to higher medical costs in the Company's Medicare programs, greater
than expected pharmacy costs and increased  membership in the Company's Medicaid
programs.

     Marketing,  general and  administrative  expenses totaled $106.8 million in
the first  quarter of 1996  compared  with $62.8 million in the first quarter of
1995 and $102.8  million in the fourth  quarter of 1995.  The increase  over the
first  quarter of 1995 is  primarily  attributable  to a $19.2  million  rise in
payroll and benefits due to increased staffing,  increased costs associated with
the growth in  membership  in the Company's  plans,  higher  broker  commissions
attributable  to the  increase  in  premiums  earned,  and  expenses  related to
enhancements  to  management   information   systems  necessary  to  accommodate
increased  transaction volume.  These expenses as a percent of operating revenue
were 16.4% during the first quarter of 1996 compared with 19.0% during the first
quarter of 1995 and 19.4% during the fourth quarter of 1995.

     The  Company's  profitability  is  dependent,  in part,  on its  ability to
predict and maintain  effective  control over health care costs (through,  among
other things, appropriate benefit design, utilization review and case management
programs and its risk-sharing agreements with providers) while providing members
with quality health care.  Factors such as  utilization,  new  technologies  and
health care practices,  hospital costs, major epidemics,  inability to establish
effective  risk-sharing  agreements  with  providers and numerous other external
influences may 

                                       8
<PAGE>   9

affect Oxford's ability to control such costs. The Company uses its medical cost
containment  capabilities,  such as claim auditing systems,  physician  tracking
systems and utilization  review protocols,  and improved  channeling to the most
cost-effective  providers  with a view to reducing  the rate of growth in health
care services expense.  There can be no assurance that Oxford will be successful
in  mitigating  the effect of any or all of the above  listed or other  factors.
Accordingly,  past financial performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator
of future  performance,  and investors should not use historical  performance to
anticipate results or future period trends.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash flow from  operations of $21.9 million  contributed  to an increase in
cash and cash  equivalents  and  short-term  investments to $371.7 million as of
March 31, 1996 from $368.6  million at December  31,  1995.  The decline in cash
flow from  operations when compared to the first quarter of 1995 is attributable
to the fact that a January 1996 Medicare  premium of  approximately  $36 million
was received and  recognized as unearned  premiums in December  1995.  The April
1996  Medicare  premium was  received  on April 1, 1996,  and  accounts  for the
significant  decline in the unearned premiums shown on the consolidated  balance
sheet.

     The Company's cash flow from  operations has increased  substantially  over
the past five years primarily as a result of increased  earnings from operations
and  increases in items  related to growth in  membership  and revenues  such as
receipt of premium revenues before payment of health care services expenses.

     The  Company's  capital  expenditures  for the first  three  months of 1996
totaled $18.2 million. Such funds were used primarily for management information
systems and leasehold improvements related to business expansion.

     On April 9, 1996,  the Company  completed a registered  public  offering of
5,227,272  newly issued post split shares of common stock from which the Company
realized net proceeds of approximately $220 million.  The Company expects to use
the net  proceeds  from the  offering to add to its capital base and for general
corporate  purposes,  including  expansion of marketing  and sales  programs and
possible  future  acquisitions,  although  there are  currently no agreements or
commitments for any such  acquisitions.  As part of a plan to add to its capital
base, the Company  intends to make an addition of  approximately  $25 million to
the capital  reserves of the  Company's New York HMO  subsidiary in  conjunction
with obtaining regulatory approval for a service area expansion.

     Except as disclosed  above,  the Company  currently has no other definitive
commitments for use of material cash resources,  however, management continually
evaluates opportunities to expand the Company's managed care services and health
plan operations.

     The Company's  medical costs payable,  which includes reserves for incurred
but not reported  claims  ("IBNR"),  was $366.0 million as of March 31, 1996 and
$300.5 million as of December 31, 1995. The Company estimates the amount of such
reserves using standard  actuarial  methodologies  based upon  historical  data,
including  the average  interval  between the date services are rendered and the
date claims are paid, expected medical cost inflation,  seasonality patterns and
increases in  membership.  The Company  believes  that its reserves for IBNR are
adequate  in order  to  satisfy  its  ultimate  claim  liability.  However,  the
Company's  rapid  growth  affects the  Company's  ability to rely on  historical
