                             INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Participants of the
Foundation Health Systems, Inc.
401(k) Associate Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Foundation Health Systems, Inc. 401(k) Associate Savings Plan
(the "Plan") as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, listed in the Table of Contents. 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.

Except as explained in the following paragraph, 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.

As permitted by 29 CFR 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, investment assets held by First Trust Institutional
Trust Group, the former custodian of the Plan, and transactions in those
assets were excluded from the scope of our audit of the Plan's 1997 financial
statements, except for comparing the information provided by the custodian,
which is summarized in Note 6, with the related information included in the
financial statements.

Because of the significance of the information that we did not audit, we are
unable to, and do not, express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements
as of December 31, 1997. The form and content of the information included in
the 1997 financial statements, other than that derived from the information
certified by the custodian, have been audited by us and, in our opinion, are
presented in compliance with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974.

In our opinion, the 1998 financial statements, referred to above, present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits
of the Plan as of December, 31, 1998, and changes in the net assets available
for plan benefits for the year then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
<PAGE>

Our audit of the Plan's financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1998, was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
1998 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 supplemental schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic 1998
financial statements, and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic 1998 financial statements taken as a whole.

The Plan has not presented the Schedule of Loans in Default as of December
31, 1998. Disclosure of this information is required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

FOUNDATION HEALTH SYSTEMS, INC.
401(K) ASSOCIATE SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

      The Foundation Health Systems, Inc. 401(k) Associate Savings Plan (the
      "Plan") enables participants to save for retirement through voluntary
      contributions and allows the participant to invest in a broad base of
      funds. The following description of the Plan is provided for general
      information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan
      document for more complete information.

      The Plan was implemented on January 1, 1995 as the Health Systems
      International, Inc. (the former name of the Company) 401(k) Associate
      Savings Plan, which Plan was amended and restated effective September
      1, 1997, at which time the name was changed to the Foundation Health
      Systems, Inc. 401(k) Associate Savings Plan. During 1998, the net
      assets of the Foundation Health Corporation Profit Sharing and 401(k)
      Plan merged into the Plan. Foundation Health Systems, Inc. (the
      "Company" or "FHS") is the sponsor and administrator of the Plan.

      CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN

      Each eligible participant may elect a pre-tax contribution rate from 1% to
      17% of his or her compensation subject to the annual cap on elective
      deferrals set by the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). From January 1, 1997
      to August 31, 1997, the Company made discretionary matching contributions
      equal to 25% of up to the first 6% of each participant's compensation.
      Effective September 1, 1997, the discretionary matching contribution
      percentage changed from 25% to 50%. 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 vest in employer contributions at the rate
      of 25% per year beginning the first year of service. An employee shall be
      credited with one year of service for each fiscal year in which the
      employee is employed by the Company.

      In addition, all participants who 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.

      INVESTMENT OPTIONS

      Participants can direct their contributions into one or more mutual
      funds maintained by Merrill Lynch Trust Company ("Merrill Lynch" or
      "ML"), as well as the common stock of the Company.

      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

      PARTICIPANT LOANS

      A participant may borrow up to one-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 and generally must be repaid within five years.

      ALLOCATION OF EARNINGS

      Earnings of each investment fund are allocated on a daily basis to
      that fund's participants in proportion to each participant's share of
      fund assets.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

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

      INVESTMENTS

      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, and is net of investment expenses. Investment income includes
      dividends and interest paid on the Plan's investments.

      DISTRIBUTIONS OF BENEFITS TO PARTICIPANTS

      Benefits are recorded when paid.

      ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

      Certain administrative expenses of the Plan are borne 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.

      RECLASSIFICATIONS

      Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 financial statements
      to conform with the 1998 presentation.

3.    INCOME TAXES

      The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed to
      be and, other than the deficiencies taken into account under the
      Internal Revenue Service's Voluntary Compliance Resolution Program, is
      being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
      IRC and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
      Therefore, the Plan Administrator believes 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.

      In 1998, the Company became aware of certain technical deficiencies in the
      operation of the Plan. During August 1998, the Plan filed to enter the
      Voluntary Compliance Resolution Program, established by the Internal
      Revenue Service as a method of curing operational defects which could
      otherwise disqualify the Plan.

4.    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 in the Company's common stock, which is offered to
      participants as a Plan investment option, qualify as party-in-interest
      transactions. Such transactions, however, are exempt from the prohibited
      transaction rules of the ERISA and IRC.


5.     INVESTMENTS

       The following table presents the fair values of investments that
       represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets available for plan
       benefits, as of December 31, 1998 and 1997:
