                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Basis of Presentation:

     The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein, as
     of and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, contain
     all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
     present a fair statement of the financial condition, results of operations
     and cash flows for the interim periods reported.  Operating results for the
     interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those expected for the
     full year.

     The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have
     been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the
     rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These
     financial statements have been prepared under the presumption that users of
     the interim financial information have either read or have access to the
     Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31,
     1996.  Accordingly, footnote disclosures which would substantially
     duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company's December 31, 1996
     audited financial statements have been omitted from these interim financial
     statements.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
     in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
     instructions, rules and regulations.  Although the Company believes that
     the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
     misleading, it is suggested that these unaudited interim consolidated
     financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
     financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's annual
     report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 3) for the year ended December 31,
     1996.


2.   Merger 
 
     On January 15, 1997, the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and
     Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") involving a stock-for-stock
     transaction with Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation ("Columbia"), a New
     York Stock Exchange company and the largest provider of healthcare services
     in the United States. On April 14, 1997, the Company entered into an
     amended and restated Merger Agreement with Columbia providing for a merger
     in which each outstanding share of Value Health common stock would be
     exchanged for $20.50 in cash. Consummation of the Merger is subject to
     satisfaction of certain conditions, including regulatory approvals and
     approval by shareholders of Value Health. The Value Health shareholder
     meeting date has been scheduled for June 18, 1997. In the event of

10.  Legal Proceedings

     The Company is involved in certain litigation as more fully described in
     its Annual Report on Form 10K/A (Amendment No. 3) for the year ended
     December 31, 1996. The Company denies the allegations in those cases and
     intends to defend them vigorously and does not believe the ultimate
     resolution will have a material effect on its financial position, results
     of operations or cash flows.

     The Company is involved in other litigation arising in the normal course of
     business. The Company believes that resolution of these matters will not
     result in any payment that, in the aggregate, would be material to the
     financial position or results of operations or cash flows of the Company,
     notwithstanding possible insurance recoveries.

Total revenues during the first quarter of 1997 decreased by $12.3 million from
1996. The addition of new customers increased revenues by $29.3 million in 1997
and revenues from existing customers declined by $17.7 million in 1997 from
1996. Acquisitions accounted for $10.7 million of 1997 revenue growth. As
discussed more fully below, revenues from the Company's joint ventures are not
consolidated. Accordingly, reported prescription drug service revenues were
reduced by $21.0 million as compared to 1996 as a result of the Company entering
into the joint venture with Allegiance in July 1996. The sale of the assets of
Lewin-VHI and certain other non-core operations in 1996 caused 1997 revenues to
decline by $13.6 million. Other revenues increased by $0.4 million and
investment income declined by $0.4 million, as compared with 1996.

Prescription drug service revenues (from the retail pharmacy network and
institutional businesses) decreased by $13.9 million or 4.7% from the first
quarter of 1996. As discussed above, joint venture accounting treatment caused
1997 revenues to decline by $21.0 million from 1996.The addition of new
customers increased revenues by $16.8 million and revenues from existing
customers declined by $4.7 million, due primarily to certain loss contracts
canceled by the Company and due to contracts canceled by customers. The decline
was partially offset by $5.0 million in fees received in connection with the
early termination of a certain data services management contract. Also, the sale
of the assets of Diagnostek Pharmacy, Inc. in December, 1996 caused 1997
revenues to decline by $5.0 million compared to the prior year first quarter.

Prescription drug product revenues (from the mail service pharmacy business) for
the first quarter of 1997 decreased by $1.7 million or 1.7% from the first
quarter of 1996. The addition of new customers increased revenues by $0.6
million while revenues from existing customers declined by $2.3 million, due
primarily to lost business. Increased utilization among existing customers
partially offset lost business.

Mental health revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased by $3.8 million
or 7.2% over the first quarter of 1996. New business added $10.5 million to 1997
revenues. Revenues from existing customers decreased by $6.7 million as a result
of lost business and price reductions.

Workers' compensation revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased by $6.2
million or 22.6% over the first quarter of 1996. The acquisition of Medview
Services, Inc. added $10.7 million to 1997 revenues. Revenues from existing
customers decreased by $2.8 million in 1997. The sale and closure of certain 
non-core businesses in 1996 accounted for revenue decreases of $2.3 million in 
1997. New business added $0.6 million to 1997 revenues.

Disease management and information services revenues for the first quarter of
1997 decreased by $6.7 million or 47.7% from the first quarter of 1996. New
customers added $0.9 million to revenues. Revenues from existing customers
decreased by $1.3 million, primarily due to enrollment and rate reductions. The
sale of the assets of Lewin-VHI, Inc. in May, 1996 caused revenues to decrease
by $5.4 million in 1997. The sale of the assets of Value Health Management, Inc.
in January, 1997 caused revenues to decline by $0.9 million in 1997.

Other revenues for the first quarter of 1997 increased by $0.4 million from the
first quarter of 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- ---------------------            

Investment income for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 declined by
$0.4 million from 1996 due primarily to lower investment balances in 1997.

The Company's costs of services consist of direct expenses of providing
specialty managed care and information services, including costs of retail
prescription drugs, mental health and substance abuse provider charges, salaries
and wages of medical management, customer service and claims processing
personnel and certain data processing costs. Costs of services for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 decreased by $21.1 million or 6.6% from the first
quarter of 1996. Most of the decrease is attributed to costs of services for the
Company's joint venture with Allegiance that are not consolidated in 1997. As a
percentage of service revenues, costs of services for the first quarter of 1997
were 78.5% as compared with 81.8% during the first quarter of 1996. The decrease
in the costs of services ratio in 1997 was due to the expiration of certain
unprofitable or low margin pharmacy benefit management contracts and lower
direct expenses resulting from the Company's restructuring and re-engineering
programs implemented in 1996.

The Company's costs of products consist of the cost of mail order prescription
drugs, including labor and overhead charges associated with warehousing,
processing and shipping activities. Costs of products for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 increased by $3.4 million or 4.1% from the first quarter of 1996.
As a percentage of product revenues, costs of products increased to 90.1% for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 from 85.2% during the first quarter of
1996. The increase in the costs of products ratio in 1997 is due to the loss of
certain profitable accounts since early 1996 and increased per unit ingredient
costs in 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1997, increased by $1.5 million or 3.2% over the first quarter of 1996. As a
percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
to 10.0% for the first quarter of 1997 from 9.5% during the first quarter of
1996. The increase in the ratio in 1997 is due primarily to additional spending 
on infrastructure to support future growth.

Depreciation and amortization expense, which consists of the depreciation of
property and equipment and the amortization of purchased and internally
developed software, was $9.0 million during the first three months of 1997 as
compared to $7.3 million during the first three months of 1996. The higher level
of depreciation and amortization in 1997 was attributable to increased
investment in fixed assets and computer software to support growth in the
Company's business.

Amortization of goodwill arising from acquisitions was $2.9 million in the first
three months of 1997 as compared with $2.2 million during the first quarter of
1996. The higher level of amortization in 1997 was due to additional goodwill in
connection with the acquisition of Medview Services, Inc. in November 1996 and
the earnout payments made in 1996 and 1997 in connection with the acquisition of
Community Care Network, Inc. in 1994. The Company determines the amortization
period of intangible assets by estimating the periods benefited by the
intangible and by comparing these periods to those used on comparable
transactions within the managed health care industry. The amortization period is
calculated on a transaction specific basis after considering legal, regulatory
and contractual provisions that may limit the useful life and determining if
obsolescence, demand or competition will affect the usefulness of the
intangibles purchased.

Interest expense consists of interest on capitalized leases and borrowings under
the Company's line of credit agreement, and was $1.4 million during the first
quarter of 1997 as compared with $80,000 during the first quarter of 1996. The
increase in 1997 is due primarily to drawdowns under the line of credit
agreement beginning in November, 1996 to fund the Medview Services, Inc.
acquisition.

The provision for income taxes in both years includes estimates of federal and
state income taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996 was approximately 41%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The Company has funded its operations and capital expenditures primarily from
the proceeds of stock issuances, bank borrowings and internally generated cash.
On August 21, 1996, the Company entered into a five-year $140 million revolving
credit agreement with a bank group. In addition, on May 6, 1997, the Company
entered into an agreement with Fleet Bank to borrow up to $35 million through
June 30, 1997. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had working capital of $219.1
million and unrestricted cash and marketable securities of $104.7 million.

Capital additions were approximately $25.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. Capital additions were primarily for computer hardware and
software, furniture and leasehold improvements.

In April, 1997 the Company funded redemption of Allegiance Corporation's
interest in its joint venture with Allegiance, for approximately $23.8 million
in cash plus a note payable for $1.2 million.

On April 30, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of Community Care
Network, Inc. by making contingent payments of approximately $55 million. To
fund these payments, the Company borrowed $52.5 million under its revolving
credit agreement, bringing the total outstanding under that agreement to $140
million on April 30, 1997.

Management believes that existing cash and marketable securities, cash from
operations and amounts available under its credit arrangements, together with
internally generated cash will be sufficient to meet the company's normal
operating requirements.

ITEM 1. - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- ---------------------------

The Company is involved in certain litigation as more fully described in its 
Annual Report on Form 10K/A (Amendment No. 3) for the year ended December 31, 
1996. The Company denies the allegations in those cases and intends to defend 
them vigorously and does not believe the ultimate resolution will have a 
material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company is involved in other litigation arising in the normal course of 
business. The Company believes that resolution of these matters will not result 
in any payment that, in the aggregate, would be material to the financial 
position or results of operations or cash flows of the Company, notwithstanding 
possible insurance recoveries.
