Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On January 27, 1999, Health Risk Management, Inc. (the "Registrant")
acquired from Oxford Health Plans, Inc. ("Seller") for $7,087,500 in cash, all
of the outstanding stock of Oxford Health Plans (PA), Inc. (OXPA) and a surplus
note of OXPA in the amount of $2.5 million. The amount of the consideration was
determined by negotiation between the Registrant and Seller. Funds for the
acquisition were obtained from the Registrant's cash on hand and from an
increase in the Registrant's borrowings from U.S. Bank National Association.

         OXPA is a Pennsylvania HMO that has both Medicaid and commercial HMO
licenses. Since April 1998, the Registrant has been assuming the full financial
risk for approximately 96% of the premium for OXPA's 65,000 Pennsylvania
Medicaid members under the Registrant's management services agreement with OXPA.
As a result of the acquisition, the Registrant now owns 100% of the stock of the
OXPA entity that has the Medicaid members as well as approximately 5,000
commercial HMO members.

                           statements meeting GAAP or statutory accounting
                           standards. The Financial Statements reflect
                           substantial operating losses year-to-date.

                           sheet is not warranted and Buyer understands that
                           actual experience subsequent to Closing may cause
                           such IBNR reserve to be increased. Buyer further
                           acknowledges that the Deferred Tax Receivable of
                           $5,957,507 is without warranty, is limited by

                           against Seller, Oaktree or any other affiliate of
                           Seller. PLAN has been operated in the ordinary cause
                           of business since July 31, 1998 subject to the
                           exceptions noted in Section 8.04. Seller has made no
                           investments in PLAN after July 31, 1998 in return for
                           the issuance of Surplus Notes.

                  5.19     Bank Account. Schedule 5.19 contains a complete list
                           of all bank and investment accounts of PLAN and all
                           signatories thereon.

         6. Representations and Warranties of the Buyer. The Buyer represents
and warrants to the Seller as follows:

                           corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in
                           good standing under the laws of the State of
                           Minnesota.

                           authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and

                  6.03     Financing. Buyer understands that financing is not a
                           condition to its obligation to close and consummate
                           the transactions contemplated herein. Buyer has
                           received the consent from all of its creditors

                           obtaining the consents listed in Schedule 6.04 hereto

                           Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions
                           contemplated hereby, will (i) conflict with or result
                           in any violation of or constitute a default under any
                           term of the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of
                           Buyer, or any material agreement by which Buyer is
                           bound; or (ii) conflict with any judgment, order,
                           decree or ruling to which Buyer is subject or require
                           any consent or approval thereunder.

         7. Buyer's Investigation; Disclaimer.

                  7.01     Buyer's Investigation. Buyer has conducted such
                           investigation of PLAN as it has deemed necessary in
                           order to make an informed decision concerning the
                           transactions contemplated hereby. Buyer represents
                           that it is sufficiently experienced and qualified in
                           the business of operating managed care businesses to
                           enable it to make an informed investigation of any
                           and all matters material and relevant to an
                           investment in the stock of PLAN. Buyer has reviewed
                           all of the documents, records, reports and other
                           materials identified in the Schedules hereto, and is
                           familiar with the content thereof and has had an
                           opportunity to investigate the condition, business
                           and future prospects of PLAN and to ask all questions
                           Buyer has deemed relevant. For the purpose of
                           conducting these investigations, Buyer has employed
                           the services of its own agents, representatives,
                           experts, and consultants. Buyer further represents
                           that it understands and is capable of bearing the
                           risks inherent in acquiring the stock of PLAN and
                           operating PLAN's business after Closing and
                           specifically the risks that continued operating
                           losses through and after Closing may require
                           substantial infusions of capital.

                  7.02     Disclaimer/Exclusion of Implied Warranties. Buyer
                           understands that Seller only recently acquired the
                           PLAN from a third party in July 1995 and has no
                           knowledge of PLAN's operations prior to such
                           acquisition. Except as expressly set forth in Section
                           5 of this Agreement, Seller (including its respective
                           legal and accounting advisors) has not made any
                           further representations or warranties of any kind,
                           either express or implied, concerning PLAN, the
                           subject matter of this Agreement, or any other matter
                           whatsoever, and the Buyer has not relied on an such
                           further representations or warranties in entering
                           into this Agreement and consummating the transactions
                           contemplated hereby. Buyer acknowledges and affirms
                           that prior to the date hereof and through the date of
                           the Closing it has and will continue to conduct its
                           own independent investigation, analysis and
                           evaluation of PLAN and its business operations and
                           prospects, and any-other matters Buyer and its
                           advisors have deemed relevant. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY
                           MADE IN SECTION 5, THE SELLER MAKES NO
                           REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR
                           IMPLIED AND SELLER EXCLUDES AND DISCLAIMS ALL
                           WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY TYPE OR NATURE
                           AND WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL MATTERS WHATSOEVER
                           NOT OTHERWISE MADE IN SECTION 5.

         8. Covenants of the Seller. Seller agrees that from the date of this
Agreement:

                  8.01     Cooperation. Seller shall use its best efforts to
                           cause the sale contemplated by this Agreement to be
                           consummated and to otherwise satisfy all of the
                           conditions set forth in Section 11 hereof, and
                           without limited the generality of the foregoing, to
                           obtain all necessary consents and authorizations of
                           third parties required by Seller or PLAN, make all
                           filings with and give all notices to third parties
                           required by Seller or PLAN and to take all actions
                           which may be necessary or reasonably in to effect the
                           transactions contemplated hereby.

                  8.02     Maintenance of Properties, etc. Seller shall cause
                           PLAN to maintain all of its properties in customary
                           repair, order, and condition, reasonable wear
                           excepted, and shall maintain insurance upon all of
                           its properties in such amounts and of such kinds and
                           against such risks as previously maintained and
                           insured against by PLAN.

                  8.03     Access to Properties, etc.; Notice of Major Events.
                           Seller shall give or cause to be given to the Buyer
                           and to Buyer's counsel, accountants, investment
                           advisors, and other representatives fun access,
                           consistent with Section 15, during normal business
                           hours on reasonable notice, to all of the properties,
                           books, tax returns, contracts, commitments, and
                           records of PLAN. It is expected that Buyer will have
                           a representative in residence at PLAN prior to
                           Closing for the purpose of monitoring all
                           developments in PLAN's business. In order for Buyer
                           to preserve and build the business of PLAN and avoid
                           actions which will adversely affect Buyer after
                           Closing, material decisions affecting the operation
                           of PLAN shall be subject to Buyer's reasonable
                           consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
                           Seller shall promptly give Buyer copies of all
                           notices and communications PLAN receives from
                           governmental and other authorities and invite to
                           Buyer to join in all communications with governmental
                           and other authorities. Seller shall promptly deliver
                           to Buyer copies of all financial statements of PLAN
                           as the same are completed prior to the Closing Date.
                           However, PLAN shall remain in control of PLAN's
                           business.

                  8.04     Certain Prohibited Transactions. PLAN shall be
                           operated in the ordinary course of business through
                           the Closing, provided that PLAN may continue to
                           decrease the volume of PLAN's commercial HMO
                           business, may further reduce PLAN staff and may cease
                           marketing the insured PPO business underwritten by
                           Seller's New York insurance affiliate; and provided
                           further that Seller shall not, except with the prior
                           written consent of Buyer, permit PLAN to (i)
                           negotiate with respect to, or enter into, any
                           contract to merge or consolidate with any other
                           corporation, (ii) negotiate with respect to, or
                           change in any material manner, the character of its
                           business, or sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of
                           or encumber any of its assets, except in the ordinary
                           course of business, (iii) negotiate with respect to,
                           or enter into, any joint venture or partnership, (iv)

                           respect to shares of its capital stock, (v) negotiate
                           with respect to, or make, any purchase, redemption,
                           or other acquisition, directly or indirectly, of any
                           outstanding shares of its capital stock, or purchase
                           stock or any other equity interest in any other
                           corporation or entity, (vi) adopt any plan of
                           liquidation, or (vii) directly or indirectly encumber
                           any of its assets.

                  8.05     Affiliate Obligations. The inter-company payable of
                           $3,706,909 due from PLAN to Seller (or affiliates of
                           Seller) reflected on the Financial Statements shall
                           be paid in full on or before the Closing Date;

                           any affiliate of Seller) prior to Closing except for
                           monthly reimbursement of taxes (other than payroll)

                           premiums from common groups to reflect actual PLAN
                           premium versus premium owed to OHI for POS Coverages
                           or to other of Seller's affiliates; (iii)
                           reimbursement to OHI for all health care claims paid
                           on PLAN's commercial business; (iv) a management fee

                           employees and all other services to PLAN; (v)
                           reimbursement for pharmacy and other health care

                           expense items. Seller and PLAN shall reconcile and
                           pay all inter-company items periodically until
                           Closing and finally within 75 days after Closing.

                  8.06     Oxford Relationships; General Releases. On or prior
                           to Closing Seller shall cause (i) all contractual
                           relationships (except those specifically to be
                           continued under Section 9.03) between PLAN and Seller
                           or Oaktree Health Plans, Inc., ("Oaktree") or any
                           other affiliate of Seller to be terminated, including
                           specifically, without limitation, any tax sharing
                           agreement between PLAN and Seller, and (ii) mutual
                           general releases between Seller and Oaktree (and
                           their affiliates) and PLAN to be delivered.

                  8.07     SEC Financial Statements. To the extent audited
                           financial statements for PLAN are required in any
                           required 8-K or other SEC filing relating to this
                           transaction, Seller shall provide copies of audited
                           statutory financial statements for PLAN which are
                           presently available; Buyer shall negotiate with, pay
                           and obtain the consent from each auditor to the use
                           of such financials in a SEC filing, if required.
                           Seller shall cooperate and provide reasonable
                           assistance to Buyer and the auditor in order to
                           permit Buyer to obtain GAAP audited statements for
                           PLAN's three prior fiscal years.

                  8.08     Post-Closing Transition. After Closing Buyer intends
                           to create or obtain from third parties claims paying
                           and billing capability for all PLAN products and to
                           find a replacement carrier to write the
                           out-of-network coverage written by Seller's
                           affiliate, OHI. Buyer shall use its reasonable
                           commercial efforts to ensure that the total
                           membership in all PLAN commercial products does not
                           increase over current levels.

                           (a) POS Claims Processing. PLAN currently markets a
                           commercial HMO - POS product with out-of-network
                           coverages written by Seller's affiliate, Oxford
                           Health Insurance, Inc. ("OHI"), (the "POS
                           Coverages"). The POS Coverages covered approximately
                           6500 members on July 31, 1998 and had a reserve for
                           unpaid claims of $934,204 as of that date. Seller
                           agrees to cause OHI to continue to write after
                           Closing the POS Coverages executed by Plan (and to
                           process and pay all claims thereunder, maintain
                           enrollment data, to bill and account for all premiums
                           thereunder and respond to member inquiries to the
                           extent now done outside of Philadelphia) until the
                           earlier of (i) the expiration of all existing POS
                           policies or (ii) December 31, 1999, provided that
                           Buyer causes PLAN to allocate sufficient premium
                           weekly during each month to OHI with respect to the
                           POS Coverages (or Buyer makes up any deficiency with
                           respect thereto) to cover the following:

                                    (x) all of the health care expenses incurred
                                    or accrued by OHI with respect to the POS
                                    Coverages for each month (the base
                                    allocation under this clause (x) to be no
                                    less than 25% of PLAN premium on POS
                                    products),

                                    (y) an amount equal to 10% of total PLAN
                                    commercial premium for the preceding month
                                    to pay OHI's cost of administering such
                                    health care claims and associated accounting
                                    and regulatory costs with respect to the POS
                                    Coverages (provided further that such
                                    reimbursement under this clause (y) shall
                                    not be less than $20,722 per month through
                                    the third month after Closing and $31,000
                                    per month thereafter) and

                                    (z) an amount (plus or minus) equal to the
                                    change in the level of the health care
                                    claims reserve for the POS Coverages as
                                    reasonably established by OHI from month to
                                    month.

                           Upon the date of final termination of the POS
                           Coverages OHI will use the then remaining health care
                           reserve ("Final Reserve") to pay all health care
                           expenses arising under the POS Coverages through such
                           date of termination. PLAN and Buyer shall guaranty
                           the level of the Final Reserve for a run-out period
                           of two years such that OHI shall have no exposure for
                           additional health care costs on the POS Coverages in
                           excess of the Final Reserve. The provisions of this
                           paragraph shall be placed in a premium allocation
                           agreement and, if necessary, filed with the
                           Pennsylvania DOI prior to Closing. PLAN may cancel
                           the premium allocation agreement and OHI's duty to
                           write the POS Coverages at any time by substitution
                           of another licensed carrier pursuant to Pennsylvania
                           law so long as OHI is paid in full and, subject to
                           paying over to the new carrier the Final Reserve,
                           relieved of any further liability thereunder.

                           (b) Commercial HMO Claims Processing. PLAN does not
                           process any claims under its commercial HMO products
                           (being both traditional HMO policies and the
                           in-network portion of the POS policies) and Seller
                           now processes all such HMO claims at locations in
                           Connecticut or elsewhere. Seller or OHI shall
                           continue to process such commercial HMO Claims after
                           Closing through December 31, 1999 as a third party
                           administrator for PLAN, provided that PLAN (i) pays
                           OHI monthly 10% of PLAN HMO premiums for the

                           per month through the third month after Closing and
                           $96,000 per month thereafter) as the cost of
                           administering such claims and (ii) that PLAN funds
                           the PLAN commercial claim bank account with the cash

                           provisions of this paragraph shall be placed in a
                           third party administrator agreement ("TPA Agreement")

                           on ten (10) days notice consistent with Pennsylvania
                           law so long as OHI is paid in full and has no further

                           products, including the POS Coverages. Buyer shall be
                           exclusively responsible for the establishment and

                           Seller shall permit PLAN to have the benefit of the

                  8.10     Compliance with Laws. PLAN will use its best efforts
                           to comply with all applicable laws, rules,

                           of any actual or anticipated circumstances which, to
                           Seller's' knowledge, will result in a material
                           violation, breach or default. Seller will cooperate
                           with Buyer to avoid such material violation, breach
                           or default.

                  8.11     Benefit Termination, COBRA; Employee Termination.

                           terminated at Closing. PLAN and Seller shall
                           terminate (and Seller alone shall pay all retention,

                           Seller shall obtain from each terminated employee a
                           release of all claims in accordance with the
                           appropriate procedure under Federal and Pennsylvania
                           law (provided no guaranty is otherwise made as to the
                           effectiveness of such releases). Buyer shall
                           separately arrange for the services of any PLAN
                           employees it wishes to hire. Seller shall provide
                           COBRA coverage at its expense to all terminated
                           employees as well as any benefits guaranteed after

                           Union Bank to PLAN prior to Closing, Buyer
                           acknowledges that checks on those accounts totaling
                           $360,297 are still outstanding and that Seller will
                           retain cash in such amount to cover such checks when
                           presented or to escheat same to the Commonwealth of

Seller. The Extension Amount shall be $200,000 and shall be treated as an
additional deposit under Section 3.02. In addition, and provided that Seller has
no reasonable basis to believe that Buyer's regulatory approvals will not be
granted within two weeks, Buyer may further elect to extend the Closing to
January 15, 1999 by written notice to Seller delivered on or before December 31,
1998. Buyer may not extend the Closing Date hereunder beyond January 15, 1999.

                                CLOSING AGREEMENT

Agreement made as of the 27th day of January, 1999 between HEALTH RISK
MANAGEMENT, INCL ("HRM") of Minneapolis, Minnesota and OXFORD HEALTH PLANS, INC.
("Oxford") of Norwalk, Connecticut. This Agreement is made in contemplation of
the Closing under the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of October 14, 1998
between the parties ("Stock Purchase Agreement") i.e., whereby HRM has purchased
the stock of Oxford Health Plans (PA), Inc. ("PLAN") to be renamed HRM Health
Plans (PA), Inc. All capitalized terms are as defined in the Stock Purchase
Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

1.       Leased Space; Consolidation. Oxford agrees that HRM and PLAN may
         continue to occupy the existing subleased space at the Curtis Center
         until March 31, 1999 on the same terms and conditions as now exist for
         such occupancy. Notwithstanding any prior arrangement by which PLAN
         occupied space at the Curtis Center, within 30 days of Closing HRM
         shall cause PLAN to withdraw all of PLAN's employees (if any),
         furniture, equipment and files to the HRM subleased area (or at most to
         not more than 2000 SF contiguous to such HRM leased area), leaving the
         remainder of the floor (except for the existing computer room and
         telephone system which may be left in their current locations, but no
         later than March 31, 1999) available to Oxford to sublease to others.

2.       Price Reduction; Surplus Note Partial Assignment; Risk Assumption.
         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Stock Purchase
         Agreement, the parties agree that HRM shall purchase only one-half of
         the Notes and Oxford shall retain ownership of one-half of the Notes.
         The Purchase Price shall be restated to $7,087,500 ($10,400,000
         adjusted by $2,500,000 to reflect that Oxford is retaining $2,500,000
         of the Notes, and $812,500 to reflect agreed upon adjustments for
         accounts receivable and dual product allocations). The Purchase Price
         shall be paid as follows: 1) $1,000,000 by application of the Deposit,
         and 2) $6,087,500 in cash as of Closing. Buyer has investigated the
         PLAN's accounts receivable and accepts the inherent risk of collection
         and lack of documentation and will be responsible for creating the
         PLAN's financial statements for both statutory and GAAP after Closing.
         HRM represents that it has investigated the claims of Omnia, Inc. and
         accepts all risks inherent in the contractual relationship Omnia, Inc.
         has with the PLAN. HRM specifically acknowledges that the warranties of
         Section 5.03 and 5.18 of the Stock Purchase Agreement are canceled.

3.       Records. Oxford currently administers all of PLAN's commercial products
         and has stored in the ordinary course in its computer systems in
         Connecticut reserve information, claims history, billing and other
         related member information concerning PLAN's members ("Member
         Information"). Oxford agrees to continue to store the Member
         Information and to make the same available from time to time upon
         reasonable notice to HRM or PLAN (or their auditors and actuaries) for
         a period of up to five years from the date of Closing or such longer
         period of time as PLAN is required by applicable law to cause such
         information to be maintained. Oxford shall also cooperate with Peat
         Marwick to provide available information to enable Peat Marwick to
         audit PLAN financials on a GAAP basis for years prior to 1998. HRM
         shall be responsible for preparing and filing the 1998 PLAN tax returns
         and audit. Oxford shall turn over to HRM all the accounting records of
         the Plan or make the records available to HRM to satisfy audit,
         regulatory, tax and legal requirements as required from time to time.
         HRM will provide Oxford journal entries required for the year ended
         December 31, 1998 financial statements and Oxford will post to the
         general ledger and make all 1998 information available to HRM not
         turned over to HRM at Closing. All equipment has been inventoried and
         no further equipment transfers (excluding Oxford-On-Call equipment
         already tagged by the parties which is in the process of being moved)
         shall be made from the Philadelphia location without mutual agreement
         between the parties.

4.       Agreements. PLAN agrees to honor all of the agreements listed on
         Schedule 5.14 insofar as they relate to services for the benefit of
         PLAN, whether or not such agreements are, in whole or in part, with
         Oxford entities other than PLAN, and PLAN further agrees to indemnify
         and hold Oxford and its affiliates harmless from any liability or
         expense (including reasonable counsel fees) under such agreements
         related to services for the benefit of PLAN.

5.       Membership Information. As soon as possible after Closing Oxford shall
         deliver to HRM a list of all PLAN commercial groups, including total
         membership by group and renewal rate.

6.       Drug Rebates. To the extent Oxford receives future rebates from PCS for
         prescription costs allocable to PLAN's business, Oxford shall promptly
         remit such rebates to PLAN.

7.       Negative Balances. Oxford shall provide to HRM promptly after Closing
         all detail which it has concerning all negative provider balances
         related to PLAN.

8.       Common Provider Agreements. The parties recognize that certain
         physician and hospital provider agreements used for the benefit of both
         PLAN and Oxford's PPO and out-of-network POS businesses may be in
         either party's name and both parties agree to allow both PLAN and
         Oxford to use such contracts for each of their respective businesses
         after Closing.

9.       Termination of Agreements. The parties hereto agree that all tax
         sharing agreements and all other agreements and understandings, whether
         oral or written, which may exist between Oxford Health Plans (PA),
         Inc., on the one hand, and Oxford Health Plans, Inc., or any of its
         affiliates, on the other hand are herewith terminated as of January 1,
         1999 without further liability of any party thereto. This termination
         shall not affect any agreement delivered at the Closing under the Stock
         Purchase Agreement.

10.      Additional Deposit; Effective Dates. An additional deposit of $300,000
         has been previously delivered to Oxford by HRM. The effective date for
         the Dual Product Agreement and the Administrative Services Agreement
         shall be January 1, 1999. Oxford shall be compensated under the terms
         of those agreements after January 1, 1999 as well as by payments
         permitted under Section 8.05 of the Stock Purchase Agreement through
         the Closing Date; provided, however, that the compensation for January
         for administrative and management services is agreed to be a total of
         $294,778.

11.      Cash, Investments and Affiliate Accounts. Attached as Exhibit B is a
         listing of bank accounts and investments balances per the bank and per
         the PLAN's books as of December 31, 1998 and January 15, 1999 and
         detail of payments made through the affiliate accounts (net) from
         November 1, 1998 through January 15, 1999 to affiliates of the PLAN and
         the total payments issued for claims for Medicaid, HMO and Dual Product
         for the same period. No additional transactions (other than payment of
         health claims in the ordinary course of business and the assignment of
         the advance to New Jersey providers to Oxford (NJ) in return for
         Oxford's payment of $250,0000 to PLAN) shall be made until Closing
         unless HRM has authorized such transactions. Banks shall be notified on
         the Closing Date that ownership has changed and accounts authorized
         signers have changed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Oxford is
         authorized to draw Medicaid claims checks on PLAN's bank accounts in
         accordance with claim payment authorizations from PLAN delivered to
         Oxford prior to Closing.

12.      Reinsurance Treaty. Oxford shall cause the PLAN to enter into a
         reinsurance treaty prior to Closing effective January 1, 1999
         conditioned upon HRM acquiring the PLAN which shall cause $5 million
         advance ceding allowance to flow into the PLAN prior to Closing.


13.      Re-Payment of Surplus Notes. PLAN will promptly issue replacement Notes
         to HRM and Oxford representing the $2,500,000 participation held by
         each. As soon as PLAN's 1998 financial statements are prepared and
         filed with the Pennsylvania DOI, PLAN agrees to use best efforts to
         seek permission for PLAN to repay the $2,500,000 of the Notes held by
         Oxford as soon as possible and prior to any payment on the $2,500,000
         of the Notes held by HRM. PLAN also agrees to book interest from the
         Date of Closing on the $2,500,000 of the Notes held by Oxford, but not
         the $2,500,000 of the Notes held by HRM, in order that interest may be
         repaid to Oxford when approval is finally granted by the Pennsylvania
         DOI. In the event payment in full cannot be obtained, PLAN agrees to
         seek permission every six months for the repayment of the balance of
         the $2,500,000 of the Notes held by Oxford until they are repaid in
         full together with accrued interest.

         In witness whereof the parties hereto have executed this Closing
Agreement as of the date first above written.
