             Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  General
    -------

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all
of the  information  and  footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all
adjustments  considered  necessary for a fair  presentation  have been included.
Operating  results for the six months  ended March 31, 1997 are not  necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30,
1997 .  These  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  financial
statements  and notes thereto  included in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1996.

2.   Litigation and other Contingencies
     ----------------------------------

      In 1993,  the SEC  advised  the  Company  that it had  commenced  a formal
investigation of potential  securities law violations in connection with certain
trading  activity  in  the  Company's   securities  and  has  requested  certain
information from the Company and certain of its officers in connection with that
investigation.  The Company and its officers have complied with these  requests.
In September  1996, the SEC settled its  administrative  proceedings  with HPI's
former  Chairman (who left the Company  effective  August,  1992) and others who
were  alleged to have  unlawfully  traded in HPI's  common  stock.  Neither  the
Company itself,  nor any of its current officers or directors were implicated in
the SEC investigation.

         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
                              Results of Operations

BACKGROUND AND BUSINESS PLAN DEVELOPMENT

      CSI currently  operates six medical  clinic and research  sites located in
Florida (Fort Lauderdale,  Miami Beach),  California (Irvine,  Los Angeles,  San
Diego) and Illinois (Chicago).  The Company had Independent Practice Affiliation
(IPA)  agreements with  physician's  professional  corporations to utilize these
facilities  prior to January 1, 1996. On January 1, 1996, the Company  purchased
the  medical  practices  in Fort  Lauderdale  and Miami.  On April 1, 1996,  the
Company  purchased the medical  practice in Chicago.  On September 30, 1996, the
Company created a Management Service Organization in California, which purchased
the medical  practice  operations  in Irvine and on October 28, 1996 the Company
purchased medical practice  operations in Los Angeles,  which had not previously
been affiliated with the Company.  The San Diego medical practice continues it's
affiliation with the Company under an IPA agreement.

      Management believes that owning the Company's affiliated medical practices
or medical  practice  operations,  where  permitted  by law,  will  increase its
ability  to  deliver  comprehensive   integrated  medical  and  clinical  trials
services,  will result in more  cost-efficient  management  of the practices and
will allow better  utilization of its  standards-of  care  algorithms to improve
health care outcomes.

      The  transition  to  ownership  of  the  practices  has  unexpectedly  but
temporarily  impaired  practice  operations in Ft.  Lauderdale and Miami, with a
materially significant negative impact on revenues derived from those facilities
during  the later  half of fiscal  1996 and the first  quarter  of fiscal  1997.
Management  has been  working to restore  these  revenues  and expects  that its
marketing  efforts  will  result  in  continuing  improvement  in  the  practice
operations.

      In addition,  the Fort  Lauderdale and Miami sites will benefit from their
selection to  participate  in five large clinical  trials,  the Immune  Response
Corporation's  HIV-1  Immunogen  trial,  Bristol-  Myers Squibb's two lobucovair
trials and Dupont Merck's DMP-266 trial.  Patient recruitment to these trials is
expected to occur  during the second and third  quarters of fiscal 1997 and full
enrollment will have a material effect on revenues for those quarters.  Although
the Company has historically  achieved full enrollment into its clinical trials,
it can give no assurances full enrollment will be achieved.


      In addition, physician practices located in Florida,  California,  Kansas,
Virginia, Texas, Pennsylvania, Maine, Washington, DC and New York are affiliated
with the CSI network and utilize CSI services to varying degrees.





                                        8


<PAGE>




      The  Company's   principal  business  objective  is  to  extend  the  full
capabilities of its Information  Technologies  system (ITS) to all its currently
affiliated  sites  and to expand  the  number  of owned  and  affiliated  sites.
Management believes that this will increase its revenue base to meet its central
operating and development expenses and will then generate substantial  operating
profits. The extension of the ITS to all affiliated sites will allow the Company
to provide more  comprehensive  services to these sites,  thereby increasing the
revenue  earned from each.  The  expansion  of owned and  affiliated  sites will
create  further  market  outlets for the  Company's  services and allow  greater
market capture of the  underlying  populations  requiring  those  services.  The
expanded  network will be positioned to capture health  services  contracts as a
national managed care disease-specific  provider,  will provide larger economies
of scale, will provide more clinical data for medical and financial analysis and
will allow CSI to conduct larger clinical  trials.  The new Los Angeles site and
the new  clinical  trials  which  commenced  during this  quarter of fiscal 1997
represent the accomplishment in part of this objective.





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

      The  Company's  total  facilities  revenues are derived from  provision of
physician medical services (where allowed by law) practice management  services,
diagnostic  laboratory  services  and other  ancillary  medical  services to the
patients  of  medical  practices  owned  by CSI  and to  the  medical  practices
affiliated with CSI.

      Total facilities revenues increased by $296,000 and $320,000 for the three
and six months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the same period in 1996. The
increase  was  primarily  due to an increase in lab and  infusion  revenue.  The
increase in clinical  trials and other  revenue of $254,000 and $200,000 for the
three and six months ended March 31, 1997 is due to the continuing enrollment of
prior trials and the initiation of new contracts.


      Interest  and other  income  decreased by $20,000 for the six months March
31, 1997 as compared to the six months ended March 31, 1996. The decrease is due
to a  decrease  in the  note  receivable  from  the  sale  of  the  discontinued
operations.

      Direct service  expense as a percentage of operating  revenues was 41% and
46% for the three and six months  ended March 31,  1997,  as compared to 44% and
46% for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996.
   
      Selling,  general  and administrative  expenses decreased by $153,000(11%)
and increased by $215,000 (8%) for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997
as  compared  to the three and six  months  ended  March 31, 1996.  The increase
relates primarily to an increase  in  depreciation  and  amortization  and other
expenses related to the purchases  of the  various  clinics in fiscal  year 1996
and the purchase of the Los Angeles clinic in November of 1996.
    
       For the six months  ending  March 31,  1996,  the  Company  decreased  PA
Physician   Association   reserves   by   $895,000   due  to  an   increase   in
collateralization of the receivables provided by the Chairman of the Company and
by one of the former CSI  shareholders  who is now a director of the Company for
advances  and  other  professional  association  reserves  owed  by  them to the
Company.  The  reserve  balance  had been  established  in part for  advances of
start-up expenses to develop four of the Company's  affiliated medical practices
and for other  receivables due to the Company.  These  collaterized  receivables
have  since been paid in full.  This  compares  to an  increase  in the  reserve
balance at March 31,  1997 of $96,000 to reflect the  uncollaterized  portion of
receivables due from the professional corporations in California.

      Interest and factoring fees decreased by $24,000 and $88,000 for the three
and six months ended March 31, 1997, as compared to the three months ended March
31, 1996. The decrease was primarily  related to the decrease in interest due to
CSI shareholders and to a decrease in factoring expenses.

      The Company  incurred  research and  development  expenses of $115,000 and
$263,000  for the three and six months  ended  March 31,  1997,  as  compared to
$36,000 and $122,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996.









                                       10


<PAGE>



      The Company  sustained a loss from  continuing  operations of $206,000 and
$1,142,000  for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997,  as compared to a
loss of $83,000 and $51,000 for the three and six months  ended March 31,  1996.
The results for the three and six months ended March 31, 1996 were significantly
impacted by reversal of reserves of $436,000 and $895,000.


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

      As of March 31, 1997, the Company had  stockholders'  equity of $4,426,000
and a working capital deficit of $1,642,000 as compared to stockholders'  equity
of $2,779,000 and working capital deficit of $583,000 at March 31, 1996.

      The Company used cash in its operating activities of $864,000 and provided
for cash of  $2,521,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and March 31,
1996.  The  cash  used was  primarily  as a result  of the net  loss.  Financing
activities consist of cash from the proceeds of convertible  debentures and cash
received from the Factors. The Company anticipates that cash will continue to be
used in its operating activities during the remainder of fiscal 1997.

      CSI and certain  medical  professional  associations  under  contract with
subsidiaries  of CSI  are a  party  to a  $2,500,000  factoring  agreement.  The
agreement  provides  for  factoring of eligible  receivables  of which funds are
advanced  by the factor at 2% over prime.  Management  believes  that  available
cash,  including  available  borrowings  from the  factoring  agreement  will be
sufficient  to satisfy the Company's  working  capital  requirements  for fiscal
1997.

      The  Company  is   continuing   its  efforts  to  expand  its  network  of
company-owned  facilities  and  is  acquiring  established  physician  practices
despite its deficit in working capital.  Certain start-up and acquisition  costs
increase  the  Company  deficit  in  working  capital,   which  deficits  should
ultimately be offset by increased  clinical  services revenues and revenues from
clinical  research trial contracts that the Company has recently  received.  The
research  studies  include the Immune  Response  Corporation's  HIV-1  Immunogen
trial, Bristol-Myers Squibb's Lobucovair trials and Dupont Merck's DMP-266.

      The   Company   has    restructured   and   consolidated   its   personnel
responsibilities  over the last  several  months to reduce  the salary and other
related  expenses and to improve the  efficiency of its  operations.  Salary and
benefit  savings from these changes have commenced from this quarter and will be
fully recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. For the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1997, the Company  expects a net reduction of salaries and related
expenses,  after  certain  salary  increases,  of  approximately  $383,000  with
annualized savings of approximately $532,000.





                                       11


<PAGE>


      In order to continue as a going concern in 1997, the Company must generate
cash flow from  operations,  continue its arrangement  with the Company's factor
(in connection therewith the Company's Chairman has provided the Factor with his
personal guarantee), produce additional revenues from its previously established
and new medical  facilities,  its new clinical  trials or raise  additional cash
from the sale of stock or debt. No  assurances  can be made that the Company can
obtain  additional  sources of capital or that  operations can produce  positive
cash flow in the  immediate  term.  The Company is  continually  evaluating  all
options   available  to  it,  including  but  not  limited  to  continued  staff
reductions, working with vendors to obtain extended credit terms, curtailment of
certain  operations,  increasing  revenues at existing facilities and protection
under creditor's rights laws.

      Impact of Inflation
      -------------------

      The cost of the Company's  operations  are not  significantly  affected by
inflation.  The Company  believes  that the shift from  commercial  insurance to
managed  care  contracts  will have the  impact of  increasing  direct  costs in
relation to revenues as certain of the rates charged for the Company's  services
are expected to decline.

      Other
      -----

      The  Company  does not  anticipate  making any  material  expenditures  in
connection with  environmental  or occupational  safety  regulation  compliance.
Although the Company anticipates opening additional facilities in the future, it
has not made any material  capital  expenditure  commitments  as of this date in
connection with those potential facilities.
