              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)


         1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

                 The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated
         financial statements of Health Systems International, Inc.  and its
         wholly and majority owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company")
         have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles for interim financial information, and  the instructions to
         Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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 of normal
         recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
         been included.  Operating results for the nine month period ended
         September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
         may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.  For further
         information, reference is made to the consolidated financial
         statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
         Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, and to
         certain "Cautionary Factors" previously filed with the Company's
         Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.

         2. FOUNDATION MERGER

                 On October 1, 1996, the Company and FH Acquisition Corp., a
         wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), entered into an
         Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with FHC, whereby
         Merger Sub will merge (the "Merger") with and into FHC and FHC will
         survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  Pursuant to the
         Merger agreement FHC stockholders will receive 1.3 shares of the
         Company's Class A Common Stock for every share of FHC common stock
         held.  The shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock issued to FHC's
         stockholders in the Merger will constitute approximately 61% of the
         outstanding stock of the Company after the Merger, and the Company's
         current stockholders will hold approximately 39% of the outstanding
         stock of the Company after the Merger.

                 Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will amend its
         Certificate of  Incorporation to change the name of the Company to
         Foundation Health Systems, Inc. and to increase the number of
         authorized shares of the Company's Common Stock to 380,000,000 shares





                                      -6-
<PAGE>   7
         consisting of 350,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and
         30,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.

                 It is anticipated that the transaction will be completed by the
         end of January 1997 and will be a tax-free combination and accounted
         for as a pooling of interests, subject to shareholder and regulatory
         approval as well as other customary conditions.  The new company will
         operate on a calendar year for financial reporting purposes.

         3.  CREDIT FACILITY

                 On April 26, 1996, the Company replaced its $400 million
         revolving credit facility obtained  on April 12, 1995 with a $700
         million revolving credit facility.  Under the new credit facility, the
         Company may incur permitted subordinated indebtedness in a maximum
         aggregate amount not to exceed $150 million which is available for
         acquisition purposes and to provide short-term financing to repurchase
         shares of stock.  The Company may elect from various short-term
         interest rates based upon a spread above the LIBOR rate; or the
         greater of the bank's reference rate or the federal funds rate plus
         1/2%.  In addition, the Company may elect a "competitive bid auction"
         in which participating banks are offered an opportunity to bid
         alternative rates.  The credit facility is for a term of five years
         from the date of execution, with two one year extension options.  At
         September 30, 1996, $319 million had been borrowed against the new
         $700 million credit facility.

         4.  CONTINGENCIES

                 The Company is involved in various legal proceedings,
         most of which are routine to its business.  In the opinion of
         management, based in part on advice from litigation counsel to the
         Company, the resolution of these matters should not have a material
         adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
         the Company.

         5.  STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

                 During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company
         repurchased 303,879 shares of its Class A Common Stock from certain
         current and former management employees of the Company and HN
         Management Holdings, Inc., a predecessor to the Company, at a price of
         $31.55 per share.  The repurchased shares were held pursuant to the
         Amended and Restated Health Net Associate Trust Agreement dated as of
         May 1, 1994 (the "Associate Trust Agreement"), on behalf of certain
         founding stockholders of the Company at the date of the conversion of
         Health Net to for-profit status (the "Class A Stockholders").  The
         repurchased shares, having an aggregate value of $9,587,000, were
         immediately canceled and netted against Class A Common Stock,
         Additional Paid-in-Capital and Retained Earnings.

                 On May 15, 1996, the Company completed a public offering in
         which the Company sold 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock and
         the California Wellness Foundation (the "Foundation") sold 6,386,510
         shares of Class A Common Stock (constituting 6,386,510 shares of Class
         B Common Stock which automatically converted into shares of Class A
         Common Stock upon the sale) for a per share purchase price to the
         public of $30.00 (the "Offering").  The net proceeds received by the
         Company from the sale of the 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock
         were approximately $92.4 million after deducting underwriting
         discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of the Offering
         payable by the Company.  The Company used its net proceeds





                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8
         from the Offering to repurchase 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common
         Stock held pursuant to the Associate Trust Agreement from certain
         Class A Stockholders.  The Company repurchased these shares of Class A
         Common Stock from the Class A Stockholders at $30.00 per share less
         transaction costs associated with the Offering, amounting to $1.08 per
         share.  All of these 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock
         repurchased are currently held as treasury stock.  The Company did not
         receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Common
         Stock in the Offering by the Foundation.

         6.  INVESTMENT IN MEDAPHIS CORPORATION

                 During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company
         recorded unrealized depreciation of $7.3 million as a result of a
         decline in the value of shares of Medaphis Common Stock that the
         Company holds.  Pursuant to FASB 115, the Company has classified such
         investment as held for sale and, accordingly, has reflected such
         depreciation as a reduction of Stockholders Equity.  The Company has
         filed a lawsuit against Medaphis Corporation in connection with this
         decrease in the stock value of Medaphis.


         7. ACQUISITIONS

         Advantage Health

                 On May 14, 1996, the Company announced that it had reached a
         definitive agreement with the St. Francis Health System to acquire
         Advantage Health, Inc., a managed care company headquartered in
         Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with approximately 60,000 members for 
         approximately $12.5 million in cash.  The transaction is subject to 
         approvals from regulatory authorities, and other customary conditions
         of closing. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth 
         quarter of 1996.

         First Option Health Plan

                 On October 25, 1996, the Company announced it will make an
         initial $30 million investment in FOHP, Inc., the parent company of
         First Option Health Plan ("FOHP") of Red Bank, New Jersey. FOHP is a
         managed health care company with approximately 168,000 health
         maintenance organization ("HMO") members, 141,000 of which are
         commercial and 27,000 of which are in Medicare and Medicaid programs.
         In addition, FOHP has more than 70,000 Workers' Compensation members
         and 60,000 preferred provider organization ("PPO") members.

                 At closing, the Company will purchase $30 million worth of FOHP
         Convertible Subordinated Debentures convertible into 40 percent of
         FOHP's outstanding equity at the Company's discretion.  In addition,
         FOHP will issue an option to the Company that could eventually lead to
         the Company purchasing an additional 11 percent ownership position in
         FOHP.  The agreement with FOHP also contemplates that up to 20 percent
         of FOHP

         equity will either be directly purchased by the Company or repurchased
         by FOHP with financing from the Company shortly following the closing.
         All of these transactions, which value FOHP at $75 million, are 
         subject to FOHP shareholder approval, applicable regulatory approvals,
         and other customary conditions of closing.

         8. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

                 On April 10, 1996, the Company announced its intention to take
         a pre-tax one-time restructuring charge of approximately $34.2 million
         or $.41 per share after tax, during the second quarter of 1996.  The
         charge was to cover non-recurring costs of a comprehensive
         restructuring of the Company's Health Net subsidiary, computer software
         and hardware write-offs, and the consolidation of certain operational
         functions of other subsidiaries.

                 Due to the proposed merger with Foundation (See note 2 of the
         Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company has
         postponed the restructuring charge to the fourth quarter of 1996 to
         allow management to reevaluate the impact of the Foundation merger on
         the restructuring plan.

</TABLE>

                 The Company added 131,998 new full-risk and ASO members since
         the third quarter of 1995.  Of this increase, 80,664 members resulted
         from the acquisition of Greater Atlantic Health Services, Inc., an HMO
         operating in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  Internal growth accounted
         for the remaining increase in enrollment of 51,334.

                 For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, enrollment
         increased by approximately 16,000 compared to December 31, 1995. The
         increase represents the net effect of a 42,000 member reduction in
         commercial enrollment, offset by increases of 11,000, 10,000 and 37,000
         members in the Company's Medicare, Medicaid and ASO lines of business,
         respectively.  Enrollment increased by 38,000 members from June 30,
         1996, resulting from a 10,000 member increase in commercial enrollment,
         a 2,000 member increase in Medicare/Medicaid enrollment and a 26,000
         member increase in ASO enrollment.

         THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED 
         SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

                 Net income increased 4.2% to $25.3 million for the three
         months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $24.3 million, after net
         merger-related costs of $1.5 million, for the comparable period in
         1995.  The increase in net income reflected the Company's growth in
         membership and premium revenue, and a decrease in administrative
         expenses as a percentage of revenue, offset in part by an increase in
         the Company's medical loss ratio (i.e., health care expenses as a
         percentage of

         premium revenue, or "MLR") to 83.5% in the three months ended
         September 30, 1996 from 81.4% in the three months ended September 30,
         1995.

         Premium Revenue

                 Premium revenue, excluding ASO revenue, increased $90.4 million
         or 13.0% in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of
         1995.  The increase in premium revenue was reflective of increased
         membership and premium rate increases in the Company's Medicare line of
         business, and its continued Northeast expansion. $52.4 million of this
         revenue increase represented premium from the Company's Northeast
         operations acquired in December of 1995. On a same store basis, premium
         revenue (including post-acquisition premium growth) increased by $38.0
         million or 5.5%, between the three month periods ended September 30,
         1996 and September 30, 1995.

                 On a same store basis, total member months increased by 1.5%
         to 5,185,000 during the third quarter of 1996 compared to the same
         period in 1995, and total PMPM premium revenue increased by 3.9% to
         $141.22.

                 Commercial member months increased by 4.7% to 5,002,000 during
         the third quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in the prior
         year.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, commercial premium
         revenue PMPM increased by 1.2% to $119.36, compared to the same period
         last year.  The increase was primarily due to higher PMPM revenues in
         the Northwest.  Excluding the effects of Northeast acquisitions,
         commercial member months for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
         increased by 0.4% to 4,795,000 compared to the prior year period.
         Commercial premium revenue PMPM, excluding the effects of Northeast
         acquisitions, increased by 0.3% to $118.30, compared to the same
         period last year.  This flat PMPM growth was mainly due to pricing
         pressures in the highly competitive California market.

                 Medicare member months increased by 29.7% to 430,000 during
         the third quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in the prior
         year.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, Medicare premium
         revenue PMPM increased by 10.8% to $435.90, compared to the same
         period last year.  Excluding the effects of Northeast acquisitions,
         Medicare member months for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
         increased by 17.5% to 390,000.  Medicare premium revenue PMPM,
         excluding the effects of Northeast acquisitions, increased by 7.6% to
         $423.32 compared to the same period last year.  Increases in Medicare
         PMPM are principally a result of rate increases by the Federal Health
         Care Financing Administration in the Company's California, Southwest 
         and Northwest markets.

         Health Care Expenses

                 Health care expenses increased by 15.9% from $565.2 million in
         the third quarter of 1995 to $655.1 million in the third quarter of
         1996.  On a PMPM basis, health care expenses for the quarter ended
         September 30, 1996 rose by 9.0% to $120.59 PMPM, versus $110.61 PMPM
         during the equivalent period in the prior year.  During the same
         period, the Company's overall MLR increased to 83.5% as compared to
         81.4% during the prior year's three-month period.  Approximately 50% of
         the MLR increase was due to higher pharmacy costs, with the remainder
         due to higher utilization of services throughout the California,
         Southwest and Northwest markets. These factors, coupled with flat PMPM
         revenue growth in the California commercial market, accounted for the
         overall increase in the Company's MLR.

                 Commercial health care expenses on a PMPM basis in the quarter
         ended September 30, 1996 increased by 3.9% to $97.39 compared to
         $93.72 during the same period last year.  The commercial MLR increased
         to 81.6% from 79.4% for the comparable period in 1995.  As previously
         described, the increase reflects higher pharmacy costs, increased
         utilization and flat PMPM revenue growth in the California market.

                 Medicare health care expenses on a PMPM basis in the quarter
         ended September 30, 1996 increased by 10.3% to $390.37, compared to
         $354.04 during the same period last year.  The Medicare MLR decreased
         to 89.6% from 90.0% for the third quarter of 1995.  The reduction in
         this

         overall Medicare MLR is primarily a result of an 86.4% MLR for the
         Company's Philadelphia Medicare business and a slight reduction in the
         MLR for the Company's California market.

         Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses

                 Marketing, general and administrative expenses, excluding the
         effects of the Company's ASO business, decreased to 9.5% of premium
         revenue in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to 10.9% during the
         third quarter of the prior year.  The decrease in marketing, general
         and administrative expenses reflects the Company's ongoing efforts to
         aggressively control its administrative costs.

         Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

                 Depreciation and amortization expenses  as a percentage of
         premium revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1996
         decreased slightly, compared to the same period in 1995.  These
         expenses were $12.9 million (1.6% of premium revenue) in the third
         quarter of 1996 compared to $12.5 million (1.8% of premium revenue)
         in the third quarter of 1995.

         NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED 
         SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

                 Net income increased 14.6% to $75.8 million for the nine
         months ended September 30, 1996, compared with $66.2 million, after
         merger related costs net of tax of $8.9 million, for the comparable
         period in 1995. The increase in net income reflected the Company's
         growth in membership and premium rates and a decrease in
         administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, offset in part by
         an increase in the Company's MLR from 80.9% for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1995 to 83.2% for the nine months ended September 30,
         1996.

         Premium Revenue

                 Premium revenue, excluding ASO revenue, increased $382.1
         million or 19.5% in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the
         first nine months of 1995. $181.8 million of this revenue increase
         represented premium from the Company's Northeast operations acquired
         in December of 1995. On a same store basis, premium revenue 
         (including post-acquisition premium growth) increased by $200.4 
         million or 10.2%, between the nine month periods ended September 30, 
         1996 and September 30, 1995.

                 Total member months increased by 12.0% to 16,246,000 during
         the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995, and
         the combined PMPM premium revenue increased by 6.6% to $144.35.

                 On a same store basis, total member months increased by 5.9%
         to 15,358,000 during the first nine months of 1996 compared to the
         same period in 1995, and overall PMPM premium revenue increased by 4.1%
         to $140.86.

                 Commercial member months increased by 10.1% to 14,975,000
         during the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same period in
         the prior year.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
         commercial premium revenue PMPM increased by 1.0% to $119.69, compared
         to the same period the prior year.  Excluding the effects of Northeast
         acquisitions, commercial member months for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1996 increased by 4.4% to 14,207,000 compared to the
         prior year period.  Commercial premium revenue PMPM, excluding the
         effects of Northeast acquisitions, decreased by .4% to $118.11,
         compared to the same period last year.  The decrease reflects
         continuing pricing pressures in the highly competitive California
         market.

                 Medicare member months increased by 42.3% to 1,271,000 during
         the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same period in the prior
         year.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, Medicare premium
         revenue PMPM increased by 11.0% to $434.89, compared to the same

         period last year.  Excluding the effects of Northeast acquisitions,
         Medicare member months for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
         increased by 28.8% to 1,151,000.  Medicare premium revenue PMPM,
         excluding the effects of Northeast acquisitions, increased by 7.6% to
         $421.79 compared to the same period last year.  Increases in Medicare
         PMPM are principally a result of rate increases by the Federal Health
         Care Financing Administration in the Company's California and 
         Southwest markets.

         Health Care Expenses

                 Health care expenses increased by 23.0% from $1.6 billion in
         the first nine months of 1995 to $2.0 billion in the first nine months
         of 1996.  On a PMPM basis, health care expenses for the first nine
         months ended September 30, 1996 rose by 9.8% to $120.15 PMPM, versus
         $109.46 PMPM during the equivalent period in the prior year.  During
         the same period, the Company's MLR increased to 83.2% as compared to
         80.9% during the prior year's nine month period.  Approximately 41% of
         the MLR increase was due to higher pharmacy costs, with the remainder
         due to higher utilization of services throughout the California, 
         Southwest, Northwest and Northeast markets.

                 Commercial health care expenses on a PMPM basis for the nine
         month period ended September 30, 1996 increased by 3.6% to $97.17
         compared to $93.76 during the same period in 1995.  The commercial MLR
         increased to 81.2% for the first nine months of 1996 from 79.1% for
         the comparable period in 1995.  The increase reflects higher pharmacy
         and outpatient costs in certain of the Company's markets, higher
         medical costs for the Company's Philadelphia Medicaid business and
         flat PMPM premium growth in the California commercial market.

                 Medicare health care expenses on a PMPM basis in the nine
         months ended September 30, 1996 increased by 12.2% to $390.91,
         compared to $348.54 during the same period last year.  The Medicare
         MLR increased to 89.9% from 88.9% for the first nine months of 1996.
         The increase in this overall Medicare MLR is primarily a result of
         unusually high Medicare fee for service claims volumes during the
         first quarter of 1996.

         Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses

                 Marketing, general and administrative expenses, excluding the
         effects of the Company's ASO business, decreased to 10.0% of premium
         revenue in the first nine months of 1996 as compared to 11.3% during
         the first nine months of the prior year.  The decrease in marketing,
         general and administrative expenses reflects the Company's ongoing
         efforts to aggressively control its administrative costs.

         Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

                 Depreciation and amortization expenses remained relatively
         static as a percentage of premium revenue in the first nine months of
         1996 as compared to the first nine months of 1995.  These expenses
         were $39.6 million (1.7% of premium revenue) in the first nine months
         of 1996 as compared to $35.2 million (1.8% of premium revenue) in the
         first nine months of 1995.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                 The Company's primary source of cash is premium revenue.  Its
         primary uses of cash are claims and capitation payments.  Estimates of
         future cash flows include a component to account for the delay between
         providing health care services and reporting their cost.  The estimate
         is based on actuarial projections of claims and other costs, claims
         paid history, membership growth, inflation, seasonality, claims
         inventory and reserves.

                 The Company's capital resources are managed according to
         certain guidelines intended to ensure liquidity and maximize total
         return by assuming prudent investment risks.  The Company's liquidity
         requirements consist of the need to service medical claims in a timely
         manner and to satisfy shared risk and other obligations.  Such
         requirements are the principal factors in determining the appropriate
         investment portfolio mix.  The Company presently invests primarily in
         a variety of fixed-income obligations according to established
         investment guidelines.

                 During the first nine months of 1996, cash used by operating
         activities was $61.1 million, compared with cash provided of $78.1
         million in the comparable prior year period.  This increase in cash
         used by operating activities is due primarily to payments of claims
         payable and shared risk settlement, and the timing of receipts of
         unearned subscriber premiums.  Increased efficiencies in the Company's
         claims processing areas have allowed accelerated handling of claims, as
         well as reductions in claims inventories.

                 Cash used by investing activities decreased from $201.5
         million in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $41.0 million
         in the nine months ended September 30, 1996, while cash provided by
         financing activities also decreased from $52.3 million to $15.9
         million during such periods.  Decreases in these cash flow categories
         resulted from limited acquisition activity during the first nine
         months of 1996, as compared to the comparable prior year period.

                 The Company's current ratios at September 30, 1996 and
         December 31, 1995 were 1.69 to 1 and 1.30 to 1, respectively.  The
         increase in the Company's current ratio is primarily attributable to
         decreased current liabilities resulting from increased payments of
         claims, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as well as reductions
         in unearned premiums as of September 30, 1996.

                 Outstanding notes payable (including $319 million outstanding
         under the Company's credit facility) amounted to $365.0 million at
         September 30, 1996, an increase of $8.6 million from December 31, 1995,
         resulting primarily from additional borrowings relating to the stock
         repurchases during the first quarter of 1996 (see note 5 of the Notes
         to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).  Principal and
         interest requirements of notes payable are scheduled at between $19
         million and $25 million per year through 2006.  The Company believes
         that cash from operations and existing working capital are adequate to
         fund existing obligations, introduce new products and services and
         continue to develop health care-related businesses.  The Company
         regularly evaluates its cash requirements for current operations and
         commitments, and for capital acquisitions and other strategic
         transactions.  The Company may elect to raise additional funds for
         these purposes, either through the issuance of additional debt or
         equity, the sale of investment securities or otherwise, as appropriate.

                 On April 26, 1996, the Company obtained an unsecured $700
         million revolving line of credit from a lending syndicate led by Bank
         of America and co-agented by Industrial Bank of Japan and Citibank.
         The new credit facility replaced the Company's previous $400 million
         credit facility. Under the credit facility the Company may incur
         permitted subordinated indebtedness in a maximum aggregate amount not
         to exceed $150 million which is available for acquisition and other
         purposes, and to provide short-term financing to repurchase shares of
         stock.  As of September 30, 1996, $319 million was outstanding under
         the Company's new credit facility.

                 The Company's subsidiaries must comply with certain minimum
         capital requirements under applicable state laws and regulations.  The
         long-term portion of principal and interest payments under the
         outstanding note payable to the Foundation is subordinated to Health
         Net meeting its tangible net equity ("TNE") requirements under
         applicable California laws and regulations. As of September 30, 1996,
         each of the Company's subsidiaries was in compliance with its minimum
         capital requirements.

         IMPACT OF INFLATION AND OTHER ELEMENTS

                 The managed health care industry is labor intensive and its
         profit margin is low.  Hence, it is especially sensitive to inflation.
         Increases in medical expenses without corresponding increases in
         premiums could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

                 Various federal and state legislative initiatives regarding
         the health care industry have been proposed during recent legislative
         sessions, and health care reform and similar issues continue to be in
         the forefront of social and political discussion.  If health care
         reform or similar legislation is enacted, such legislation could
         impact the Company.  Management cannot at this time predict whether
         any such initiative will be enacted and, if enacted, the impact on the
         financial condition or operations of the Company.

                 Reference is also made to the disclosures contained under the
         heading "Cautionary Factors" included in the Company's Quarterly
         Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, which could
         cause the Company's actual results to differ from those projected in
         forward looking statements of the Company made by or on behalf of the
         Company.  In addition, certain of these factors may have affected the
         Company's past results and may affect future results.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Restricted Stock Dispute

         Following the conversion of Health Net to a for-profit subsidiary of
the Company (the "Conversion"), a restricted stock plan (the "Restricted Stock
Plan") was adopted and restricted shares were issued to certain management
employees of Health Net.  In February 1993, the California Department of
Corporations (the "DOC") informed Health Net that it believed the issuance of
such restricted shares ("Restricted Shares") of the Company to persons who were
stockholders of the Company as of the date of the Conversion (the "Restricted
Share Recipients") violated certain provisions and terms imposed by the DOC in
connection with the Conversion.  In March 1993, the DOC insisted that such
restricted shares be rescinded and stated that the DOC would take steps
necessary to revoke the approval of the Conversion if the issuance of the
Restricted Shares was not rescinded (the "Conditional Revocation Order").  In
April 1993 the Restricted Share Recipients agreed to rescind all of the
Restricted Shares issued to them, under express protest to the DOC.
Subsequently, a formal protest was filed with the DOC which requested a hearing
regarding the correctness of the decision.

         On September 14, 1994, Health Net, the Company and certain of the
Restricted Stock Recipients, on behalf of all the Restricted Stock Recipients
(the "Petitioners"), filed a Petition for Writ of Administrative Mandamus in
the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles (Case No. BS030426) (the "Writ
Proceeding").  The Writ Proceeding seeks to overturn the Conditional Revocation
Order and to require the Commissioner of the DOC to follow procedures set forth
in the Administrative Procedures Act which would result in an administrative
hearing regarding the correctness of the Conditional Revocation Order or, in
the alternative, to treat the Conditional Revocation Order as a final agency
action and to have the Court order the Commissioner of the DOC to rescind the
Conditional Revocation Order.

         On May 25, 1995, the Petitioners filed an amended petition expanding
the original claims and adding a new cause of action for a declaratory judgment
that would revoke the rescission of the issuance of the Restricted Shares.  The
DOC and The California Wellness Foundation (the "Foundation") filed new
demurrers to the amended petition on July 3, 1995.  At a hearing on July 28,
1995, the Court sustained the demurrers without leave to amend.  On August 7,
1995, the Petitioners filed objections to the Court's Statement of Decision.
On August 15, 1995, the Court overruled the objections of the Petitioners to
the Court's Statement of Decision.  On September 8, 1995, the Court entered an
Order of Dismissal, and the Amended Petition for Writ of Mandate and Complaint
for Declaratory Relief of the Petitioners was dismissed.  On September 19,
1995, the DOC served notice of the entry of the Order of Dismissal.  On October
18, 1995, the Petitioners filed a Notice of Appeal.  The opening brief was
filed on March 15, 1996, and the Respondents' briefs were filed on or around
June 13, 1996.  The reply briefs to the Respondents' briefs were timely filed
on August 19, 1996 and the Court has set oral arguments on the appeal for
November 13, 1996.

         Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger relating to the
merger involving QualMed, Inc. and Health Net which created the Company, in the
event that the Petitioners are successful and the Restricted Shares are
permitted to be issued to the Original Shareholders, shares of common stock
would be transferred from the Foundation to the Restricted Stock Recipients and
the Company would not suffer any adverse effect

other than the payment of legal fees and related costs of the Writ Proceeding
which the Company is obligated to fund.

Medaphis Corporation

         On November 7, 1996 the Company filed a lawsuit against Medaphis
Corporation ("Medaphis") and its former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Randolph G. Brown entitled Health Systems International, Inc. v. Medaphis
Corporation, Randolph G. Brown and Does 1-50, case number BC 160414, Superior
Court of California, County of Los Angeles.  The lawsuit arises out of the
acquisition of Health Data Sciences Corporation ("HDS") by Medaphis. In June
1996, the Company, the owner of 1,234,544 shares (or 77%) of Series F Preferred
Stock of HDS, representing over sixteen percent of the total outstanding equity
of HDS, voted its shares in favor of the acquisition of HDS by Medaphis. The
Company received as the result of the acquisition 976,771 shares of Medaphis 
Common Stock in exchange for its Series F Preferred Stock.

         In its complaint, the Company alleges that Medaphis was actually a
poorly run company with sagging earnings in its core businesses, and had
artificially maintained its stock prices through a series of acquisitions and
accounting maneuvers which provided the illusion of growth while hiding the
reality of its weakening financial and business condition. The Company alleges
that Medaphis, Brown, and other insiders deceived the Company by failing to
reveal that Medaphis would shortly reveal a "write off" of up to $40,000,000 in
reorganization costs and would lower its earnings estimate for the following
year, thereby more than halving the value of the Medaphis shares received by
the Company.  The Company alleges that these false and misleading statements
were contained in oral communications with the Company, as well as in the
prospectus provided by Medaphis to all HDS shareholders in connection with the
HDS acquisition. Further, despite knowing of the Company's discussions to form a
strategic alliance of its own with HDS, Medaphis and the individual defendants
wrongfully interfered with that prospective business relationship by proposing
to acquire HDS using Medaphis stock whose market price was artificially
inflated by false and misleading statements.  These allegations of the Company
constitute violations of both federal and state securities laws, as well as
constituting fraud and other torts under state law. The Company is seeking
either rescission of the transaction or damages in excess of $38,000,000. Since
the complaint was just recently filed, the defendants have not yet responded.

Miscellaneous Proceedings

         The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are also parties to
various other legal proceedings, many of which involve claims for coverage
encountered in the ordinary course of its business.  Based upon information
presently available, management of the Company is of the opinion, based in part
on advice from litigation counsel to the Company, that the final outcome of all
such proceedings should not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

Revolving Credit Facility

         On April 26, 1996, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement among the Company, Bank of America National Trust and Savings
Association ("Bank of America"), as agent, and certain financial institutions
which are parties thereto (the "Credit Agreement") pursuant to which the
Company obtained an unsecured five-year $700 million revolving credit facility.
The Credit Agreement replaced the Company's prior credit agreement providing
for an unsecured $400 million revolving credit facility, which prior agreement
was also entered into by the Company with Bank of America, as agent.

         Specifically, Section 7.11 of the Credit Agreement provides that the
Company and its subsidiaries may, so long as no event of default exists (i)
declare and distribute stock as a dividend; (ii) purchase, redeem or acquire
its stock, options and warrants with the proceeds of concurrent public
offerings and (iii) declare and pay dividends or purchase, redeem or otherwise
acquire its capital stock, warrants, options or similar rights with cash so
long as the sum of such acquisitions does not exceed $150 million plus 25% of
the net income of the Company and its subsidiaries in fiscal 1995 plus 50% of
the net income of the Company and its subsidiaries in fiscal 1996 and
subsequent years (calculated on a cumulative consolidated basis).

         In addition, under the Credit Agreement as originally executed the
Company was allowed to incur Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) to repurchase its Class A Common Stock, but was limited to
repurchasing not more than 50% of the Class A Common Stock held by certain
designated stockholders (the "50% Repurchase Limitation").  The Credit
Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto on May 10, 1996 to eliminate
the 50% Repurchase Limitation.  On May 28, 1996, the Credit Agreement was
further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto to clarify the definition of the
term "LIBOR Base Rate".



Shareholder Rights Plan

         On May 20, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
dividend distribution of one right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of
the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (collectively, the
"Common Stock"), to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 31,
1996 (the "Record Date").  The Board of Directors of the Company also
authorized the issuance of one Right for each share of Common Stock issued
after the Record Date and prior to the earliest of the Distribution Date (as
defined below), the redemption of the Rights and the expiration of the Rights
and in certain other circumstances.  Rights will attach to all Common Stock
certificates representing shares then outstanding and no separate Rights
Certificates will be distributed. Subject to certain exceptions contained in
the Rights Agreement dated as of June 1, 1996 by and between the Company and
Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agreement"), the
Rights will separate from the Common Stock in the event any person acquires 15%
or more of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the
Company declares a holder of 10% or more of the outstanding Class A Common
Stock to be an "Adverse Person," or any person commences a tender offer for 15%
of the Class A Common Stock (each event causing a "Distribution Date").





                                      -21-
<PAGE>   22
         Except as set forth below and subject to adjustment as provided in the
Rights Agreement, each Right entitles its registered holder, upon the
occurrence of a Distribution Date, to purchase from the Company one
one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, at
a price of $170.00 per one-thousandth share.  However, in the event any person
acquires 15% or more of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, or the Board of
Directors of the Company declares a holder of 10% or more of the outstanding
Class A Common Stock to be an "Adverse Person," the Rights (subject to certain
exceptions contained in the Rights Agreement) will instead become exercisable
for Class A Common Stock having a market value at such time equal to $340.00.
The Rights are redeemable under certain circumstances at $.01 per Right and
will expire, unless earlier redeemed, on July 31, 2006.

         A copy of the Rights Agreement has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's Registration Statement on
Form 8-A (File No. 001-12718), and is available free of charge from the Company.
In connection with its execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") with Foundation Health Corporation, the Company entered into
Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the Rights Agreement to exempt the Merger
Agreement and related transactions from triggering the Rights. In addition, the
Amendment modifies certain terms of the Rights Agreement applicable to the
determination of certain "Adverse Persons," which modifications become 
effective upon consummation of the transactions provided for under the Merger 
Agreement. This summary description of the Rights does not purport to be 
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement.

ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION

Public Offering

         On May 15, 1996, the Company completed a public offering (the
"Offering") in which the Company sold 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock
and the Foundation sold 6,664,964 shares of Class A Common Stock (constituting
6,664,964 shares of Class B Common Stock which automatically converted into
shares of Class A Common Stock upon the sale) for a per share purchase price to
the public of $30.00.  The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of
the 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock were approximately $92.4 million
after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses
of the Offering payable by the Company.  The Company used its net proceeds from
the Offering to repurchase 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock held
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Health Net Associate Trust Agreement dated
as of May 1, 1994 (the "Associate Trust Agreement"), on behalf of certain
founding stockholders of the Company at the date of the conversion of Health
Net to for-profit status (the "Class A Stockholders").  The repurchase price
per share paid by the Company to repurchase these shares of Class A Common
Stock from the Class A Stockholders was $28.92, which represented the net
proceeds per share received by the Company in the Offering. All 3,194,374 of
such shares repurchased by the Company are currently held as treasury stock.
The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of
Class A Common Stock by the Foundation.

Revolving Credit Facility

         As indicated in Item 2 above, on April 26, 1996 the Company executed
the Credit Agreement which provides an unsecured five-year $700 million
revolving credit facility.  A copy of the Credit Agreement was attached as
Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 26, 1996.
Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.33 to the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
and Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.33 to
the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 
1996.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set 
forth in the Credit Agreement.

         Approximately $319 million which was borrowed under the Company's
prior $400 million credit facility was rolled into the new facility under the
Credit Agreement.  The new facility is available to the Company and its
subsidiaries for general corporate purposes including Permitted Acquisitions
and Joint Ventures and, if the Company should elect, to repurchase or redeem
the Company's capital stock to the extent allowed by the Federal Reserve Board
Regulations and other requirements of law and as set forth in the Credit
Agreement.  As of September 30, 1996, the Company had drawn approximately $319
million under the facility of which approximately $135 million had been applied
to pay a portion of the notes payable to the Foundation, approximately $100
million had been drawn to fund the Company's acquisition of M.D. Enterprises of
Connecticut, Inc., approximately $75 million had been drawn to fund the
Company's acquisition of G.H. Holding Corporation and approximately $9 million
had been drawn to fund certain stock repurchases from the Class A Stockholders
in February of 1996.

         Bank of America is the lead bank and agent for the other participating
banks named in the Credit Agreement.  At the election of the Company, and
subject to customary covenants, loans can be initiated on a bid





                                      -24-
<PAGE>   25
or committed basis and will carry interest at offshore or domestic rates, but
subject to the applicable LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, of .50% above the
Federal Funds Rate or the Bank of America "reference rate."  Actual rates on
borrowings under the facility will vary based on competitive bidding, sources
of funds and the Company's senior leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing.
The facility is available for five years, until April 2001, but may be
extended, under certain circumstances, for two additional years until April
2003.

         Loans under the facility are unsecured but the Company and its
subsidiaries are subject to affirmative and negative covenants.  As described
in Item 2 above, these include limitations on the payment of cash dividends on
the Company's capital stock and, in certain cases, the redemption or repurchase
of capital stock or securities.  In addition to obligations incurred under the
facility, the Company and its subsidiaries are entitled to incur Permitted
Subordinated Indebtedness for seller financing of Permitted Acquisitions and
certain other items in an aggregate amount of up to $150 million and to incur
unsecured indebtedness to repurchase the Company's Class A Common Stock.

         Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is (i) obligated to maintain
at all times a Total Leverage Ratio not to exceed 3 to 1, a Fixed Charge
Coverage of not less than 2.75 to 1 and to preserve its combined net worth and
Permitted Class A Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) at not less than $100 million plus 50% of net income after December
31, 1994 on a cumulative consolidated basis, (ii) obligated to limit liens on
its assets to those incurred in the normal course and for taxes and other
similar obligations, and (iii) subject to customary covenants to dispose of
assets only in the ordinary course and generally at fair value, to restrict
mergers and consolidations to those permitted under the Credit Agreement, and
to limit loans, leases, joint ventures and contingent obligations and certain
transactions with affiliates.  Upon the occurrence of a default or an event of
default, the Company and its subsidiaries would be subject to further
restrictions, including with respect to the operating HMO subsidiaries, an
obligation to advance to the parent company reserves in excess of those held to
comply with state and similar administrative requirements.

Cautionary Statements

         In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company has previously filed with
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
certain cautionary statements identifying important risk factors that could
cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from those projected in
forward-looking statements of the Company made by or on behalf of the Company.

         The Company wishes to caution readers that these factors, among
others, could cause the Company's actual financial or enrollment results to
differ materially from those expressed in any projected, estimated or
forward-looking statements relating to the Company.   The factors should be
considered in conjunction with any discussion of operations or results by the
Company or its representatives, including any forward-looking discussion, as
well as comments contained in press releases, presentations to securities
analysts or investors, or other communications by the Company.

         In making these statements, the Company was not and is not undertaking
to address or update each factor in future filings or communications regarding
the Company's business or results, and is not undertaking to address how any of
these factors may have caused changes to discussions or information contained in





                                      -25-

previous filings or communications. In addition, certain of these matters
may have affected the Company's past results and may affect future results.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Foundation Health Corporation

         On October 1, 1996, the Company and FH Acquisition Corp., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Foundation Health Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("FHC"), whereby Merger Sub will merge (the "Merger") with
and into FHC and FHC will survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement FHC stockholders will receive 1.3 shares of
the Company's Class A Common Stock for every share of FHC common stock held.
The shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock issued to FHC's stockholders
in the Merger will constitute approximately 61% of the outstanding stock of the
Company after the Merger and the Company's current stockholders will hold
approximately 39% of the outstanding stock of the Company after the Merger.

         Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will amend its
Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Foundation
Health Systems, Inc. and to increase the number of authorized shares of the
Company's Common Stock to 380,000,000 shares consisting of 350,000,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock and 30,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.

         The Merger Agreement also provides for, among other things, amendment
of the Company's By-Laws to effect certain changes to the governance provisions
of the Company following the Merger, including provisions related to the
structure of the Company's Board of Directors and the committees of the
Company's Board of Directors.  Except in certain circumstances, during a
transition period following the consummation of the Merger and up to, but not
including, the election of directors at the Company's May 2000 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders, the Company's Board of Directors will consist of 11 members,
six of whom (Daniel D. Crowley and five other independent directors) will be
designated by FHC and five of whom (Malik M. Hasan, M.D. and four other
independent directors) will be designated by the Company.

         The Merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby require
the approval of the Company's stockholders and FHC's stockholders at their
respective special meeting of stockholders.  Further information concerning the
Merger and the matters described above will be included in the proxy statement
related to such special meetings.

First Option Health Plan

         On October 25, 1996, the Company announced it will make an initial $30
million investment in FOHP, Inc., the parent company of First Option Health
Plan ("FOHP") of Red Bank, New Jersey.  FOHP is a managed health care company
owned by physicians, hospitals and other health care providers that provides a
full line of commercial products for businesses and individuals, along with
Medicare, Medicaid and Workers' Compensation programs.  FOHP currently has
approximately 168,000 HMO members in New Jersey, 141,000 of which are
commercial and 27,000 of which are in Medicare and Medicaid programs.  In
addition, FOHP has more than 70,000 Workers' Compensation members and 60,000
PPO members.





                                      -26-
<PAGE>   27
         At closing, the Company will purchase $30 million worth of FOHP
Convertible Subordinated Debentures convertible into 40 percent of FOHP's
outstanding equity at the Company's discretion.  In addition, FOHP will issue an
option to the Company that could eventually lead to the Company purchasing an
additional 11 percent ownership position in FOHP.  The agreement with FOHP also
contemplates that up to another 20 percent of FOHP equity will either be
directly purchased by the Company or repurchased by FOHP with financing from the
Company shortly following the closing.  As part of the transaction the Company
will also provide a variety of management services to FOHP, including
information systems, utilization review and quality assurance, and strategic
planning, among others.  The Company will receive management fees from FOHP for
these services.

         All of these transactions, which value FOHP at $75 million, are
subject to FOHP shareholder approval, applicable regulatory approvals, and
other customary conditions of closing.

                              AMENDMENT TO BY-LAWS
                     OF HEALTH SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.

        On May 20, 1996 the Board of Director of Health Systems International,
Inc. (the "Corporation") voted to amend the Third Amended and Restated By-laws
(the "By-laws") of the Corporation as follows:

        Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3 of Article IV of the By-laws
were amended so that such paragraphs (a) and (b) read in their entirety as
follows:

                (a)     To recommend to the Board of Directors the compensation
        including direct regular compensation, stock options or other
        appropriate incentive plans, and perquisites, if any, of (i) the
        Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation and (ii) the
        most highly compensated executive officer of the Corporation other than
        the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, which
        recommendation shall be subject to ratification, modification or
        rejection by the Board of Directors.

                (b)     To approve the compensation, including direct regular
        compensation, stock options or other appropriate incentive plans, and
        perquisites, if any, of the Chairmen, Chief Executive Officers,
        Presidents, Chief Operating Officers and Senior Vice Presidents of the
        Corporation, Health Net, QualMed, Inc. and any direct or indirect
        subsidiaries of the Corporation other than Health Net or QualMed, Inc.,
        other than those officers identified in (a) above.

        Section 5 and Section 6 of Article V of the By-laws were amended so
that such Section 5 and Section 6 read in their entirety as follows, and a new
Section 11 was added to Article V of the By-laws, which Section 11 reads in its
entirety as follows:

                SECTION 5.  Chairman of the Board.  The Chairman of the Board
        shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.  The duties of
        the Chairman of the Board shall be to preside at meetings of the Board
        of Directors and, if present, to preside at the meetings of the
        Stockholders.  The Chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman of
        the meetings of the Board of Directors or of any committee on which he
        serves, and shall preside as chairman of the Stockholder meetings.
        Except where by law the signature of the President is required, the
        Chairman of the Board shall possess the same power as the President to
        sign all contracts,

<PAGE>   2
        certificates and other instruments of the Corporation that may be
        authorized by the Board of Directors.  During the absence or disability
        of the President, the Chairman of the Board shall exercise all the
        powers and discharge all the duties of the President.  The Chairman of
        the Board shall also perform such other duties and may exercise such
        other powers as from time to time may be assigned to him by the By-laws
        or by the Board of Directors, subject to the terms of applicable
        employment agreements.

                SECTION 6.  President.  The President shall, subject to the
        control of the Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Board, have
        general supervision of the business of the Corporation and shall see
        that all orders and resolutions of the Board of Directors are carried
        into effect.  In the absence of the Chairman of the Board and the Vice
        Chairman of the board (if a Vice Chairman of the Board exists), the
        President shall preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors and,
        if present, preside at all meetings of the Stockholders.  The President
        shall perform such other duties as the Chairman of the Board or the
        Board of Directors may from time to time determine, subject to the terms
        of applicable employment agreements.

                SECTION 11.  Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.  The Vice
        Chairman of the Board, if there be one, shall, in the absence of the
        Chairman of the Board, preside at all meetings of the Stockholders.  The
        Vice Chairman of the Board position shall not be considered an office of
        the Corporation (although the Vice Chairman of the Board may or may not
        hold other offices of the Corporation).  The Vice Chairman of the Board
        shall also perform such other duties and may exercise such other powers
        as from time to time may be assigned to him by the By-laws or by the
        Board of Directors.

Re:  Offer of Employment

Dear Jay:

We are pleased to extend to you an offer of employment with Health Systems
International, Inc. ("HSI") and its subsidiaries, Health Net and QualMed, Inc.
(hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company"), for the exempt
positions of President and Chief Operating Officer of HSI and Chairman of
Health Net and QualMed, Inc. at an annual base salary of $425,000.  In these
capacities, you will report to Malik M. Hasan, M.D., the Chairman of the Board
of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of HSI.  Your office will be located
in Woodland Hills, California.  The start date for your employment is June 3,
1996. 

As a senior executive of the Company, your annual base salary will be reviewed
each year by the HSI Compensation and Stock Option Committee.  Your first
review for annual salary compensation purposes is scheduled to occur on or
about July 1, 1997 and annually thereafter.  Please be aware that a review
should not be construed as a guarantee for salary increase.

You will also be eligible to participate in the HSI Management Bonus Plan.
Under this plan you can earn up to 65% of your base salary as a bonus, subject
to the discretion of the HSI Compensation and Stock Option Committee, if
certain goals based upon Company and your individual performance are achieved.
Your 1996 bonus will be based upon corporate and individual performance for the
number of full months you are employed by the Company during the year.  The
goals which will be used to measure your performance for 1996 are attached
hereto as Exhibit 1, and it is intended that you will be provided goals for
successive calendar years prior to January 31 of each such year.

As to any bonus award, you must be actively employed and on the Company payroll
at the time said bonus is to be paid which is on or before March 31 of each
year.  The HSI Compensation and Stock Option Committee in its sole discretion
will award amounts as it deems appropriate consistent with the guidelines of
the HSI Management Bonus Plan.  If you are deemed to be one of HSI's five
highest paid executive officers for any given year, you will participate in the
HSI Performance-Based Annual Bonus Plan as adopted by HSI shareholders in 1994
or as hereafter amended, modified or superseded, in lieu of

the Management Bonus Plan.  (The HSI Performance-Based Annual Bonus Plan is
designed to address the limitations imposed under federal tax law on the
Company's ability to deduct certain compensation paid to the five highest paid
executive officers.)

In addition to the foregoing, and subject to (l) any applicable prerequisite
length of employment or other eligibility requirements and (2) your continued
employment with the Company, you will be eligible for consideration to receive
and/or participate in the fringe benefits set forth in the Company's applicable
Plan Documents, Associate Handbooks and/or Policy Statement, subject to the
Company's right to enhance, increase, reduce, eliminate or otherwise modify at
any time these or other fringe benefits (including the bonus plans referenced
above).  Your Company benefits include:

        o       Associate 401(k) Savings Plan

        o       Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        o       Group medical coverage for you and your eligible dependents at

        o       Group dental coverage for you and your eligible dependents at
                current monthly rates applicable to the Company's employees to
                start June 3, 1996 

        o       Group term life insurance in the amount of $500,000
                (supplemental term life insurance and term life insurance for
                your dependents is also available at your expense)

        o       Short-term and long-term disability benefits

        o       22 vacation and/or paid-time off days per calendar year

        o       An anticipated initial nonqualified stock option grant (vesting
                one third per year, beginning on the third anniversary of your
                employment, with a ten year life) to purchase 100,000 shares of
                HSI Class A Common Stock at the market value of such stock at
                the close of business on June 3, 1996.  Notwithstanding the
                vesting provisions above, in the event you should leave the
                Company for any reason other than just cause, you shall have the
                right to exercise your options for a one-year period from the
                date you terminated employment.

        The Company will provide you with temporary housing in Woodland Hills,
        California for a period of one year from your start date at a monthly
        cost not to exceed $2,000.  Weekend trips to your residence in San

Should you leave the employ of the Company within one year from your date of
hire, you will be obligated to reimburse the Company for relocation expenses
paid on your behalf, pro-rated by the number of months that have expired since
your employment began.

Additionally, acceptance of this offer of employment will protect you in the
unlikely event a Change-of-Control transaction (as defined below) occurs
resulting in termination of your employment.  If, during a two-year period
following a Change-of-Control transaction, you are terminated by the Company or
voluntary resign for a "good reason" (as defined below), you will receive
severance pay equal to three years of your then current annual base salary,
except that any severance pay will not exceed the lesser of (i) $1.5 million or
(ii) the applicable Internal Revenue Code Section 280G limitations to avoid
penalty taxes and deduction limitations on "excess parachute payments."

Change-of-Control is defined as any one of the following:

        o       A 51% change in beneficial ownership as a result of a single
                transaction of all capital stock of HSI;

        o       A change in the majority of outside directors of HSI's Board of
                Directors over two years, which is unapproved by a majority of
                HSI's current directors;

        o       The sale of substantially all of HSI's assets to an unrelated
                third party; or

        o       The liquidation or dissolution of HSI.

For purposes of your Change-of-Control severance benefit, "good reason" means
a  material reduction in the scope of your position, duties or responsibilities,
or of your salary or status with the Company, or your removal from your
positions referred to above as determined by the HSI Compensation and Stock
Option Committee existing as of the date of the Change-of-Control, except in
connection with the termination of your employment for disability, normal
retirement or cause, or by voluntary resignation other than for good reason.

If you are terminated by the Company for a reason other than just cause or
during a two year period following a Change-of-Control transaction, you will be
entitled to receive severance payments equal to two years of your then current
annual base salary and one year of your then current target bonus award.

Base salary severance payments made to you pursuant to this document, will be
made on a monthly basis in equal monthly amounts commencing as of the end of the
month immediately succeeding termination.  The target bonus award will be made
at the

Company's discretion but no later than the March 31 occurring two years after
your termination date.  Any severance payments are subject to verification that
you have not breached the non-compete agreement set forth below.

Should disagreements arise with respect to this offer of employment, you and
the Company agree to submit the matter to binding arbitration.  The Company
shall also have the right to pursue an equitable remedy in a California court
pursuant to the applicable laws of California with respect to the non-compete
and confidentiality restrictions set forth below.  The prevailing party in
either the arbitration and/or the equitable remedy action shall recover all
attorney's fees and costs incurred.

This offer of employment shall remain confidential and, if accepted by you,
will oblige you to the following two-year non-compete agreement.  Accordingly,
if you accept this offer you agree that you will not, for a period of two (2)
years after any termination of your employment with the Company, undertake any
employment or activity on behalf of a Competitor (as defined below) in the
geographical area in which you performed services for the Company or any of its
affiliates (the "Market Area"), which employment or activity could call upon
you to reveal, to make judgments on or otherwise use any confidential business
information or trade secrets of the business of the Company or any of its
affiliates to which you had access during your employment with the Company.

For these purposes, "Competitor" shall refer to any health maintenance
organization, health care management company, physician group, insurance
company or similar entity that provides managed health care or related services
similar to those provided by the Company or any of its affiliates within the
Market Area.  It is hereby further agreed that if an arbitrator or any court
of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the restrictions imposed in this
non-compete agreement are unreasonable, invalid or unlawful (including, but not
limited to, the definition of Market Area or Competitor or the time period
during which this restriction is applicable), the parties hereto hereby agree to
any restrictions that such arbitrator or court would find to be reasonable
under the circumstances.  It is further agreed that the Company shall have all
equitable remedies available to enforce this non-competition restriction and the
confidentiality restriction set forth in the following paragraph.

You acknowledge and agree that, during the period of your employment by the
Company, you will have access to and become acquainted with various
confidential information and practices, confidential customer information, and
pricing methodology.  All documents, memoranda, reports, files, correspondence,
lists and other written, electronic and graphic records, affecting or relating
to the Company's business that you may prepare, use, observe, possess or
control shall be and remain the Company's sole property, and you shall not
disclose any of these items, except as required in the course of your
employment by the Company.  In the event of the termination of your employment,
you shall deliver
<PAGE>   6
Mr. Jay M. Gellert

Page 6



promptly to the Company all written and/or graphic records containing such trade
secrets or confidential information.

Nothing set forth herein is intended to create any condition or term of
employment other than that of an "at-will" employee. In other words, by
accepting employment with the Company you confirm that your employment is
voluntary and that there is no obligation on your part or on the part of the
Company to continue that employment relationship for any period of time. While
the Company certainly hopes that there will be a long and mutually satisfactory
relationship between you and the Company, it is expressly understood and agreed
that your employment can be terminated by either you or the Company at any time,
for any reason and with or without prior notice of any kind. The only way in
which this "at will" employment relationship can be changed is by a written
agreement, approved by the HSI Compensation and Stock Option Committee, and
signed by you and the Company.

The foregoing describes the terms of this offer of employment. Any prior or
contemporaneous agreements or representations, whether oral or written, which
may have been made or discussed but which are not included herein, are of no
force or effect whatsoever or at all. The HSI Compensation and Stock Option
Committee has approved this offer of employment. Please execute and return to me

Re: Offer of Employment

Dear Doug:

We are pleased to extend to you an offer of employment with Health Systems
International, Inc. ("HSI") (hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Company"), for the exempt position of Senior Vice President of Strategic
Planning and Business Development at an annual base salary of $245,000. In this
capacity, you will report to Jay M. Gellert, the President and Chief Operating
Officer of HSI. Your office will be located in San Diego, California. The
anticipated start date for your employment is October 1, 1996.

As a senior executive of the Company, your annual base salary will be reviewed
each year by the HSI Compensation and Stock Option Committee. Your first review
for annual salary compensation purposes is scheduled to occur at the conclusion
of the 1997 calendar year, and annually thereafter.

You will also be eligible to participate in the HSI Management Bonus Plan. Under
this plan you can earn up to 40% of your base salary as a bonus, subject to the
discretion of the HSI Compensation and Stock Option Committee, if certain goals
based upon HSI's and your individual performance are achieved. Your 1996 bonus
will be based upon corporate and individual performance for the number of full
months you are employed by the Company during the year. The goals which will be
used to measure your performance for 1996 will be mutually agreed to by Mr.
Gellert and you within 30 days following the commencement of your employment.

As to any bonus award, you must be actively employed and on the Company payroll
at the time said bonus is to be paid. The HSI Compensation and Stock Option
Committee in its sole discretion will award amounts as it deems appropriate
consistent with the guidelines of the HSI Management Bonus Plan. If you are
deemed to be one of HSI's five highest paid executive officers for any given
year, you will participate in the HSI Performance-Based Annual Bonus Plan as
adopted by HSI shareholders in 1994, in lieu of the Management Bonus Plan (the
HSI Performance-Based Annual Bonus Plan is designed to address the limitations
imposed under federal tax law on the Company's ability to deduct certain
compensation paid to the five highest paid executive officers.)

In addition to the foregoing, and subject to (1) satisfactory completion of
company-required drug test and background check; (2) any applicable
prerequisite length of employment or other eligibility requirements and (3)
your continued employment with the Company, you will be eligible for
consideration to receive and/or participate in the fringe benefits set forth in
the Company's applicable Plan Documents, Associate Handbooks and/or Policy
Statement, subject to the Company's right to enhance, increase, reduce,
eliminate or otherwise modify at any time these or other fringe benefits
(including the bonus plans referenced above).  Your Company benefits include:

        o       Associate 401(k) Savings Plan.

        o       Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

        o       Group medical coverage for you and your eligible dependents at
                current monthly rates applicable to the Company's employees to
                start October 1, 1996.

        o       Group dental coverage for you and your eligible dependents at
                current monthly rates applicable to the Company's employees to
                start October 1, 1996.

        o       Eligibility to elect to designate up to $5,000 of your pay to be
                contributed on a pre-tax basis to an account for your dependent
                care expenses and up to $2,000 of your pay to be contributed on
                a pre-tax basis to an account for your medical and dental
                expenses.

        o       Group term life insurance in the amount of $500,000
                (supplemental term life insurance and term life insurance for
                your dependents is also available at your expense).

        o       Short-term and long-term disability benefits.

        o       22 vacation and/or paid-time off days per calendar year.  (For
                vacation purposes only...you will receive special treatment
                to accrue PTO.  As such, you will initially be treated as a
                mid-career hire and begin at the 4-9 year accrual rate.)

        o       An anticipated initial nonqualified stock option grant effective
                October 1, 1996 (vesting one third per year, beginning on the
                first anniversary of your employment, with a ten year life) to
                purchase 17,500 shares of HSI Class A Common Stock at the market
                value of such stock at the close of business on the date
                granted.  The above grant is to be effective on your start date
                (projected to be October 1, 1996).  The above grant also is
                contingent upon agreement to the following two clauses:
<PAGE>   3
Mr. Douglas C. Werner
September 30, 1996
Page 3



        1)  Waiver of Acceleration.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
        contained herein or in the Plan, the Optionee hereby agrees that, for
        purposes of determining the exercisability of the Option, neither (i)
        the approval by the Board of Directors of the Company of the proposed
        transactions (the "Proposed Transactions") by and between the Company
        and Foundation Health Corporation, nor (ii) any other event associated
        with such Proposed Transactions shall constitute an event giving rise
        to the acceleration of the exercisability of the Option; provided that
        in the event the Optionee's employment with the Company or a Subsidiary
        is terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary without cause at any
        time within three (3) years after the Grant Date the foregoing waiver
        shall have no force or effect.

        2)  Cancellation.  In the event the grant of the Option would, in the
        opinion of the Company's outside accountants or legal counsel, preclude
        the Company from accounting for the Proposed Transactions as a "pooling
        of interests" such Option and this Option Agreement shall be null and
        void and shall have no effect whatsoever.

     o  Eligibility to participate in HSI's profit-sharing stock grant program,
        which is based upon the profits of HSI and QualMed.

     o  You are eligible to participate in the HSI SERP program.  The plan
        provides retirement benefits at age 62 equal to 50% of your final five
        year earnings after a minimum of fifteen years of service.  Upon
        acceptance of your offer of employment, the Company has agreed to award
        you 1.5 years of benefit service for each year you are employed.  Please
        be aware that no adjustment in service will be made for vesting
        purposes.  Thus your benefit will be 100% vested after 10 years and
        partially vested after five years.

     o  Reimbursement of reasonable, substantiated monthly business expenses.

     o  Company paid holidays (currently ten days per year).

     o  Education Assistance Program.

     o  Eligibility to participate in the Decibel Credit Union (Decibel offers
        low interest loans, low interest VISA credit cards, Christmas Club,
        etc.)

     o  A car allowance of $1,000 per month plus a corporate VISA charge card
        which can be used for Company-related expenses.

        o  A cellular phone for your vehicle.

        o  A fax machine to be installed at your home.

        o  Financial planning allowance for tax advice and financial counseling
           subject to a maximum of $5,000 per year beginning with 1996.

If you are terminated by the Company for a reason other than just cause, you
will be entitled to receive severance pay equal to six months of your base
salary, at the salary rate in effect immediately prior to your termination of
employment. If you are terminated as a result of a change of control of
ownership resulting in the elimination of your job, you will receive twelve
months of your base salary, at the salary rate in effect prior to the
termination of your employment.

Should disagreements arise with respect to this offer of employment, you and
the Company agree to submit the matter to binding arbitration. The arbitration
committee shall consist of three individuals. You will select one individual,
the Company will select another, and the third individual will be selected by
The American Arbitration Association. The Company shall also have the right to
pursue an equitable remedy in a California court pursuant to the applicable
laws of California with respect to confidentiality restrictions set forth
below. The prevailing party in either the arbitration and/or the equitable
remedy action shall recover all attorney's fees and costs incurred.

This offer of employment shall remain confidential. You acknowledge and agree
that, during the period of your employment by the Company, you will have access
to and become acquainted with various confidential information and practices,
confidential customer information, and pricing methodology. All documents,
memoranda, reports, files, correspondence, lists and other written, electronic
and graphic records affecting or relating to the Company's business that you may
prepare, use, possess or control shall be and remain the Company's sole
property, and you shall not disclose any of these items, except as required in
the course of your employment by the Company. In the event of the termination of
your employment, you shall deliver promptly to the Company all written and/or
graphic records containing such trade secrets or confidential information.

Nothing set forth herein is intended to create any condition or term of
employment other than that of an "at-will" employee. In other words, by
accepting employment with the Company you confirm that your employment is
voluntary and that there is no obligation on your part or on the part of the
Company to continue that employment relationship for any period of time.
While the Company certainly hopes that there will be a long and mutually
satisfactory relationship between you and the Company, it is expressly
understood and agreed that your employment can be terminated by either you or
the Company at any time, for any reason and with or without prior notice of any
kind. The only way in which this "at will" employment relationship can be
changed is by a written agreement, approved by

<PAGE>   5
Mr. Douglas C. Werner
September 30, 1996
Page 5


the HSI Compensation and Stock Option Committee, which expressly sets forth a
specific length of employment and other appropriate terms and conditions for
the employment relationship.

The foregoing describes the terms of this offer of employment.  Any prior or
contemporaneous agreements or representations, whether oral or written, which
may have been made or discussed but which are not included herein, are of no
force or effect whatsoever or at all.  The HSI Compensation and Stock Option
Committee has approved this offer of employment.

Doug, you should know that both Jay Gellert and Dr. Hasan join me in extending
our warmest wishes.  We are both enthusiastic about the prospect of having you
on the Company's "First Team."  Wishing you the best of success and the very
