                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  June 30, 1998

                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION

MedicalControl, Inc. ("MCI" or the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is a
holding company of healthcare cost management and administrative services
companies. The Company is comprised of three main subsidiaries: MedicalControl
Network Solutions, Inc., providing managed care services, primarily through its
preferred provider organization ("PPO") networks, Diversified Group
Administrators, Inc., providing third party administration ("TPA") services, and
PPO Management Solutions, Inc., providing repricing and administrative services
for PPO's and certain network healthcare providers. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. The Company's contracts with its customers
are renewable annually and permit cancellation upon 30 to 60 days' notice.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and have
not been audited or reviewed by independent public accountants. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (which consisted only of normal recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of
operations have been made. Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted from these statements unless significant changes have taken
place since the end of the most recent fiscal year. The Company believes that
the disclosures contained herein, when read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. It is suggested, therefore, that these statements be
read in conjunction with the statements and notes included in the aforementioned
Form 10-KSB.

NOTE 3 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares and
common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The impact of the
dilutive common equivalent shares was 35,031 and 15,066 for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and 71,673 and 61,021 for
the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

Common equivalent shares excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per
share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive were 1,369,937 and
1,254,444 for the three month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and, 1,333,294 and 1,195,711 for the six month periods ended June
30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE 4 - REGISTRATION STATEMENT

During March 1998, MCI filed a registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission to register certain existing outstanding shares of common
stock owned by the majority shareholder of MCI. The stock registered serves as
collateral for certain loans of the majority shareholder.

NOTE 5 - ACQUISITION OF TREASURY STOCK

During the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company purchased a total
of 88,000 shares of outstanding MCI stock at $5.13 per share under the terms of
a stock repurchase program announced in January 1997. Such shares will be used
to satisfy the exercise of stock options and for other corporate purposes. The
acquired shares were recorded as additional treasury stock in the Company's
financial statements.

NOTE 6 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In July 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
No. 130"). SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 effective January 1,
1998. Management believes the impact of SFAS No. 130 is immaterial as there were
no items of other comprehensive income for the periods ended June 30, 1998 and
1997.

PART I - ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

THE QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998, COMPARED TO THE QUARTER AND SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997.

(1)      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 were
$3,604,000 and $7,084,000, respectively, versus $3,571,000 and $7,140,000 for
the comparable 1997 periods. PPO revenues declined approximately $257,000 for
the quarter and $477,000 for the six month period primarily due to client
turnover and fluctuations in the relative mix of hospital versus physician
claims volume. TPA revenues increased approximately $290,000 for the quarter and
$421,000 for the six month period primarily due to claims administration fees on
incremental covered lives and revenues from a new fully insured product
introduced during 1997.

The Company has experienced declining PPO revenues in recent periods. Management
believes this trend can be reversed through increased market penetration with
current PPO clients, new PPO and TPA business development, marketing of its new
PPO management and repricing business and investing in state-of-the-art
adjudication technology for its TPA. During the last half of 1997 and continuing
into 1998, the Company renewed its focus on sales and marketing of its PPO and
began marketing its PPO management and repricing software and services business.

Net income (loss) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 was
$6,500 and $(88,000), respectively, compared to $112,000 and $197,000 for the
same periods in 1997. Diluted earnings per share were $.00 and $(.02) for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998, respectively, compared to $.03
and $.05 for the same 1997 periods. Included in the prior year's six month
operating results were approximately $202,000 of non-recurring costs associated
with the Company's relocation of its principal operations and corporate offices
and the implementation of a new claims processing system for its subsidiary.
Exclusive of these nonrecurring costs, net income declined approximately
$486,000 between periods. This decline was due primarily to reduced PPO revenues
and increases in personnel costs and operating expenses more fully discussed
below.

Salaries and wages increased to $2,178,000 from $1,831,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to the prior year period. For the six months ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, salaries and wages increased $562,000
(15%) to $4,291,000 from $3,729,000. Of this increase, approximately $190,000
was attributable to merit and other salary adjustments effected between periods,
$252,000 related to incremental positions in both the PPO and TPA operations,
and $120,000 related to temporary labor costs associated with year end backlogs
and systems conversion efforts in the TPA operations.

Other operating expenses decreased by approximately $148,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, or 11%, as compared to the three months ended June
30, 1997. For the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, other
operating expenses were $2,544,000 and $2,723,000, respectively. Exclusive of
the $202,000 of nonrecurring relocation and systems implementation costs
incurred in 1997, other operating expenses were comparable between years.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 was
$235,000 compared to $208,000 for the same period in 1997. For the six month
period, depreciation and amortization expense was $468,000 in 1998 versus
$413,000 for the comparable 1997 period. This increase is the result of the
Company's continued investments in state-of-the-art information systems and data
processing equipment for its PPO and TPA operations.

(2)      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company had net working capital of approximately $2,634,000 at June 30,
1998, compared to $2,583,000 at December 31, 1997. Cash flows used in operations
were approximately $103,000 for the first six months of 1998. Included in this
amount are income tax payments of approximately $413,000. Cash and cash
equivalents at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, including approximately
$1,876,000 and $1,314,000 of cash for insurance premium payments, were
approximately $2,976,000 and $3,235,000, respectively.

Capital expenditures for the purchase of tangible property and equipment were
approximately $109,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. These
expenditures were primarily for data processing equipment for the Company's PPO
operations. Management currently expects total capital expenditures for the
remaining six months of 1998 to be approximately $250,000, the majority of which
relates to additional data processing and information systems assets.

In connection with the 1994 acquisition of Diversified Group Administrators,
Inc. ("DGA"), the Company incurred certain acquisition note obligations. The
final $100,000 of these obligations, subject to an option to convert this note
into 25,000 shares of common stock, was due on June 30, 1998. Subsequent to
period end, $40,000 of this obligation was converted to Company stock with the
remaining $60,000 being paid in cash.

In connection with the separation agreement with a former employee, the Company
is required to make eight quarterly installments of $13,750, plus interest at
8%, which began on September 30, 1997. The fourth installment was made prior to
period end.

The Company has a line of credit with a bank, that provides for maximum
borrowings of $1,000,000, secured by accounts receivable. At June 30, 1998, the
Company had $175,000 of outstanding borrowings under this arrangement. During
the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the Company purchased a total of
88,000 shares of Company stock at $5.13 per share under terms of a stock
repurchase agreement announced during January 1997. The purchases were financed
with advances under this credit facility.

Management believes that cash flows from operations, cash on hand, and the
Company's borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund liquidity needs and
capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

The Company has not paid dividends in the past and does not anticipate the
payment of such in the future.
