Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder
Russell Data Services, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Russell Data Services, Inc.
as of December 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations, capital 
deficiency and cash flows for the year then ended.  These financial statements 
are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material 
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence 
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement 
presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our 
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the financial position of Russell Data Services, Inc. at 
December 31, 1996 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the 
year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                             December 31, 1996 and 
                March 31, 1996 (unaudited) and 1997 (unaudited)


1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Russell Data Services, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in October 1994. 
The Company markets billing, accounts receivable and collections services, as 
well as certain accounting services.

The Company derives all of its revenue from National Medical Financial Services 
Corporation ("NMFS"), a public company primarily owned and controlled by Dr. 
Douglas Colkitt, the president and sole stockholder of the Company, which 
subjects the Company's related party receivable and revenue to concentration of 
credit risk.  The Company generally does not require collateral against its 
receivables.

The Company has excess current liabilities over current assets and a deficit in 
capital as of December 31, 1996.  Included in current liabilities is a 
short-term note due to NMFS in the amount of $3,344,174 (see Note 3).  On May 
13, 1997, the Company was acquired by EquiMed, Inc. ("EquiMed") (see Note 4), 
a public company primarily owned by Dr. Colkitt.  Dr. Colkitt is the Chairman 
of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, and President of Equimed.  
EquiMed has agreed to provide funds as necessary to the Company to pay the note 
due to NMFS as payments of principal and interest are required during 1997.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates and such differences 
may be material to the financial statements.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash, amounts due from
affiliates, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to 
affiliates approximate their fair values.  The fair value of the Company's note 
payable approximates the reported amount in the balance sheet as its interest 
rate approximates the market rate for similar debt instruments.

<PAGE>  10

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents include investments in highly liquid instruments with a 
maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.

FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT

Furniture and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the 
straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to seven years.

INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected an S-corporation status for federal and state income tax
reporting purposes. There are no material differences between financial and 
income tax reporting which would give rise to deferred income taxes at December 
31, 1996.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Fees for the Company's services are based primarily on a percentage of net 
billings of patient accounts, and revenue is recognized as such billings are 
performed.

CASH MANAGEMENT

As part of the owner's cash management strategy, available cash generated by 
the Company is generally transferred from the Company to other affiliates of Dr.
Colkitt.  Such transfers have been treated as deemed distributions.  In 
addition, when the Company requires cash for operations, cash is generally 
transferred from other affiliates of Dr. Colkitt.  These cash transfers are 
recorded on the Company's books as amounts due to or from affiliates.  No 
interest income or expense is applied to these receivables and payables.  The 
Company has been a net provider of cash to other affiliates of Dr. Colkitt.  As 
it is not the owner's intention to repay or request repayment of certain of 
these amounts, such amounts have been reflected as deemed distributions and are,
therefore, not included in the accompanying balance sheet.

UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited interim financial statements as of March 31, 1997 and for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. 
Accordingly, they 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, consisting only of normal 
recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been 
included.  Operating results for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 
and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 
the years ending December 31, 1996 and 1997.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Since October 1, 1994, the Company has contracted with NMFS (the "NMFS 
Contract") to provide billing, accounts receivable, and collection services for 
the clients of NMFS which are typically medical providers.  The NMFS Contract 
provides for NMFS to pay the Company 70% of all revenues collected by NMFS for 
the performance of such services. 

The NMFS Contract is scheduled to expire September 30, 2004.  Under terms of the
NMFS Contract, NMFS is permitted to contract with providers of services to 
companies other than the Company and the Company is permitted to provide its 
service to companies other than NMFS, provided that the Company is obligated to 
service for NMFS all client contracts which are priced not less than 80% of the 
industry standard for similar contracts.  The NMFS Contract contains an 
arbitration procedure to be followed in the event that any dispute arises 
between the parties under the contract.  For the year ended December 31, 1996 
and the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1997, all of the Company's 
revenue was from services provided to NMFS. 

The Company, in connection with its contract with NMFS, derived approximately 
25%, 30% and 23% of its revenues from EquiMed for the year ended December 31, 
1996 and for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1997, 
respectively.  EquiMed has contracted with NMFS to provide billing and 
accounting services for EquiMed's oncology division.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

On May 1, 1996, NMFS entered into a transaction with First United Equities 
Corporation ("First United"), a broker-dealer registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  First United is the principal market maker in NFMS's 
Common Stock.  Pursuant to the transaction, NMFS loaned $5,200,000 through a 
series of advances evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at 10% to 
First United.  Such note was due and payable on demand with seven days
notice.  The note was collateralized by the guarantees of the principals of
First United.  On May 29, 1996, First United repaid $2,000,000 to NMFS.  On
October 1, 1996, the Company assumed the remaining balance of the note and
accrued interest of approximately $3,344,000 due from First United in
exchange for an unsecured note due to NMFS.  The note due to NMFS also bears
interest at 10% and establishes a payment schedule of $1,000,000 each at
January 15, April 15 and July 15, 1997 plus interest thereon with the
remaining balance and interest thereon due on September 15, 1997.  Accrued
interest on the note due NMFS approximated $84,070 and $31,470 as of December
31, 1996 and March 31, 1997, respectively and is included in accounts payable
and accrued liabilities on the accompanying balance sheets.  As of July 15,
1997, the Company has not made the payments which were due to NMFS on April
15, 1997 and July 15, 1997.  NMFS has not demanded payment. EquiMed has
agreed to provide funds as necessary to the Company to pay the note due to
NMFS as payments of principal and interest are required (see Note 1). The
Company has reflected a loss of approximately $3,844,000 for the year ended 
December 31, 1996 relating to note receivable of approximately $3,344,000 and 
other cash advances of approximately $500,000 due from First United.

Effective October 1, 1994, the Company has contracted with Billing Services, 
Inc. ("BSI"), an entity owned and controlled by Dr. Colkitt.  Pursuant to the 
contract with BSI (the "BSI Contract"), BSI is to provide to the Company, on a 
non-exclusive basis, certain specified billing and collection services for a 
fee equal to BSI's operating costs plus two and one-half percent (2-1/2%).  
The BSI Contract is for a term of ten years.  Under the terms of the BSI 
Contract, the Company is permitted to contract with providers of service 
other than BSI and BSI is permitted to provide its services to companies other 
than the Company.  BSI has contracted with Nittany Decisions Private Limited, a 
company located in Madras, India which is 80% owned by Dr. Colkitt, to perform 
the billing services relating to the BSI Contract.  For the year ended December 
31, 1996 and the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1997 the Company 
incurred $1,245,500, $312,000 and $330,000, respectively for services provided
