INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Members
Northside Gastroenterology Endoscopy Center
Indianapolis, Indiana

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Northside Gastroenterology
Endoscopy Center as of December 31, 1998, and the related statement of earnings
and retained earnings 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
misstatements. 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Northside Gastroenterology Endoscopy Center
as of December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   NORTHSIDE GASTROENTEROLOGY ENDOSCOPY CENTER
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998, SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 (UNAUDITED) AND
                     PERIOD ENDED JUNE 15, 1999 (UNAUDITED)


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.       ORGANIZATION

         Northside Gastroenterology Endoscopy Center (the "Center") is owned and
operated by a group of physicians who perform endoscopy procedures at the Center
through their related physician practice. The Center and the affiliated
physician practice operate out of the same facility. The Center was organized as
part of the associated physician practice until September 1998, at which time
the net assets and operations were contributed into Northside Gastroenterology
Endoscopy Center, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company. The accompanying
financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting from
the separate records maintained by the Center, reflect the operations of the
Center only and do not include activities of the physician practice.

B.       CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         Cash and cash equivalents are comprised principally of demand deposits
at banks and other highly liquid short-term investments with maturities less
than three months when purchased.

C.       REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Revenues consist of amounts billed for the use of the Center's
facilities billed directly to the patient or third-party payer. Revenues are
reported at the estimated net realizable amounts from patients, third-party
payers and others, including Medicare and Medicaid. Such revenues are recognized
as the related services are performed. Contractual adjustments resulting from
agreements with various organizations to provide services for amounts which
differ from billed charges are recorded as deductions from patient service
revenues. During 1998, approximately 26% of the Center's revenues were provided
to patients covered under Medicare and Medicaid. Amounts that are determined to
be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for uncollectible accounts.

D.       PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation for leasehold
improvements is recognized under the straight-line method over the remaining
term of the lease plus renewal options. Depreciation for equipment and furniture
and fixtures is recognized over useful lives of three to seven years.

E.       EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

         The Center sponsors a profit sharing plan to which the Center may
contribute a discretionary amount each year to be shared by eligible employees.
The Center also sponsors a defined contribution plan to which the Center makes
contributions on behalf of eligible employees based on a formula as defined by
the plan. During the year ended December 31, 1998, six months ended June 30,
1998 (unaudited) and period ended June 15, 1999 (unaudited), the Center incurred
costs of $58,020, $29,010 and 29,544, respectively, associated with these plans.

F.       INCOME TAXES

         No provision for income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying
financial statements as a portion of the Center's operations in 1998 are
included with the physician practice while the remainder of the Center's
operations in 1998 and all of 1999 are included in a limited liability company.
Accordingly, income taxes prior to the formation of the limited liability
company have been assumed by the physician practice while income taxes
subsequent to the formation of the limited liability company are the
responsibility of the individual members of such limited liability company.

G.       MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

H.       UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION

         The unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which management considers
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of
operations. The results of operations for the period ended June 15, 1999 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS



         On June 21, 1999 and effective June 15, 1999, the Company acquired a
majority interest in Northside Gastroenterology Endoscopy Center, LLC. The

          of purchased operations based on a 25-year amortization period.

     3.   To reflect minority owner's interest in earnings of acquired
          operations.

     4.   To reflect interest expense on acquisition-related borrowings, net of

     5.   To record estimated additional federal and state income taxes at a
          combined statutory rate of 40% in 1998 and 38.5% in 1999, as a result
