                             INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Trustee and Participants
of the Foundation Health Corporation
Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Foundation Health Corporation Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan
(the "Plan") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

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

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules listed in the
foregoing Table of Contents are presented for the purpose of additional analysis
and are not a required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974.  These schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Such schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                            PROFIT SHARING AND 401(K) PLAN

                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

The Foundation Health Corporation Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") 
enables participants to save for retirement through voluntary contributions 
and allows the participant to invest in a broad base of funds.  Included in 
these investment options is the opportunity for employees to acquire a 
proprietary interest in the growth of Foundation Health Systems, Inc. (the 
"Company" or "FHS") through stock ownership.

On April 1, 1997, FHC merged with Health Systems International, Inc. ("HSI"). 
FHC merged into and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSI.  HSI changed 
its name to Foundation Health Systems, Inc.  The Plan Administrator 
anticipates the Plan will merge into a FHS Plan in 1998.

The Compensation and Organizational Committee of the Company's Board of 
Directors is the Administrator of the Plan.  The Company believes that the 
Plan will continue without interruption but reserves the right to terminate 
the Plan at any time.  In the event of termination of the Plan, all 
participants will become fully vested.

The following description of the Plan provides only general information.  
Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete 
description of the Plan's provisions.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN

Each eligible participant may elect a pre-tax contribution rate from 2% to 
10% (or from 2% to 6% for highly compensated employees as defined by the 
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")) of his or her compensation subject to the 
annual cap on elective deferrals set by the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC").  
From January 1, 1996 through March 31, 1997, the participant was also able to 
make contributions from 2% to 10% (or from 2% to 6% for highly compensated 
employees as defined by the IRS) of his or her compensation on an after-tax 
basis.  Effective April 1, 1997, after-tax contributions are not permitted.  
The Company makes discretionary matching contributions equal to 0% to 100% of 
up to the first 6% of each participant's base compensation. The Company also 
may make discretionary nonmatching contributions.

ELIGIBILITY AND VESTING

All employees of the Company and certain subsidiaries who are not covered by 
a collective bargaining agreement and have met specified service requirements 
are eligible to participate in the Plan.  All participants are immediately 
100% vested in their contributions plus any investment earnings thereon.  
Participants employed by the Company prior to January 1, 1995 vest in 
employer contributions 33 1/3% per year commencing on the first anniversary 
of the participant's date of hire.  Through August 31, 1997, participants 
employed by the Company on or after January 1, 1995 vested in employer 
contributions 20% per year commencing on the first anniversary of the 
participant's date of hire.  Effective September 1, 1997, participants 
employed by the company on or after January 1, 1995 vest in employer 
contributions 25% per year commencing on the first anniversary of the 
participant's date of hire.

                                        - 4 -
<PAGE>

In addition, all participants who have attained the age of 65, who terminate 
employment and have attained the age of 55, or who are terminated from 
employment by reason of death or disability become 100% vested in employer 
contributions and investment earnings thereon.  Employer contributions and 
earnings thereon made prior to April 1, 1989 also are 100% vested.

BENEFITS

Benefits are distributable from Plan assets upon retirement, death, 
disability, termination of employment, termination of the Plan, or in certain 
cases of hardship.  Benefits are based upon the participant's vested share of 
Plan assets.  Upon termination of employment, other than as described under 
"Eligibility and vesting" above, the unvested portion of employer 
contributions and investment earnings thereon is forfeited by the participant 
and can be used to reduce future employer contributions.

PARTICIPANT LOANS

A participant may borrow up to half of the value of the vested portion of his 
or her account in the form of a loan with a minimum principal of $1,000 and 
subject to a maximum of $50,000. Loans bear interest at prime plus 1% and 
generally must be repaid within five years.

ALLOCATION OF EARNINGS

Earnings of each investment fund are allocated on a monthly basis to that 
fund's participants in proportion to each participant's share of fund assets 
at the beginning of the  month.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method.

INVESTMENTS

Participants allocate their contributions in any combination among eight 
investment funds held by Merrill Lynch Trust Company ("Merrill Lynch" or 
"ML").  Investments are stated at their fair market value measured by quoted 
market prices.  Gains or losses on the sale of investments are recorded on 
the trade date as the difference between proceeds received and current value 
at the beginning of the year or cost if acquired during the year determined 
by the specific identification method.  Net appreciation or depreciation in 
the fair value of investments includes net unrealized market appreciation and 
depreciation of investments and net realized gains and losses on the sale of 
investments during the period.  Investment income includes dividends and 
interest paid on the Plan's investments.

DISTRIBUTIONS OF BENEFITS TO PARTICIPANTS

Benefits are recorded when paid.


                                        - 5 -
<PAGE>

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

All administrative expenses are paid by the Plan.  No indirect expenses are 
allocated to the Plan by the Company.

ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

In preparing the financial statements of the Plan, estimates and assumptions 
are made which affect the reported amounts of net assets available for 
benefits at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of 
changes in net assets available for benefits during the reporting period.  
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

The Company has received a favorable determination letter dated December 18, 
1997 from the Internal Revenue Service as to the qualified status of the Plan 
as amended and restated on April 3, 1997, conditioned upon the adoption of 
certain plan amendments which condition has been met by the adoption of 
certain technical changes to the Plan.  The Company is of the opinion that 
the Plan continues to fulfill the requirements of the IRC and the Employee 
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and that the trust, which forms a 
part of the Plan, is exempt from income tax.  Accordingly, no provision has 
been made for federal or state income taxes.

NOTE 4 - PLAN MERGERS

The net assets of the Health Maintenance Center 401(k) retirement account were 
transferred into the Plan in March 1997.  The net assets of the Managed Health 
Network 401(k) Plan, the Associated Claims Management 401(k) Plan, and the 
Intergroup of Utah 401(k) Plan were transferred into the Plan in December 1996, 
November 1996, and July 1996, respectively.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain Plan investments are in shares of Merrill Lynch mutual funds.  
Merrill Lynch is the trustee as defined by the Plan, and therefore, these 
transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.  In addition, 
transactions with the Company's common stock qualify as party-in-interest 
transactions.  However, exemptions from the prohibited transaction rules 
permit these transactions.

From January 1, 1996 to June 30, 1996, prior to the Intergroup of Utah 401(k) 
Plan's merger into the Plan, Plan investments were held and managed by 
Merrill Lynch in commingled funds with the assets and investments of the 
Intergroup of Utah 401(k) Plan, which is sponsored by an affiliate of FHS.  
These financial statements only represent the assets and activity related to 
the Plan.
