PART I
ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Rockport") is a
managed healthcare company that offers its proprietary network of healthcare
providers of services and products, primarily to large employers and insurance
companies for the benefit of employees with work related illnesses and injuries.
In addition to medical healthcare networks for work related illnesses and
injuries, Rockport also offers individual and group medical networks for
accidents and illnesses, medical networks for catastrophic illnesses and
injuries, and access to national medical, dental, prescription, chiropractic and
vision networks via private label or retail medical access savings cards.
The Company's products and services are designed to reduce medical
costs while maintaining high quality medical care. The Company establishes
proprietary networks of contracted healthcare providers who agree to provide
healthcare products and services for fees which are less than the state mandated
fee under workers compensation laws and regulations and/or below usual and
customary allowables. Rockport contracts with employers and insurance companies
to provide access to these networks primarily for the benefit of their employees
with work related illnesses and injuries. When employees elect to use the
Company's network of healthcare product and service providers, the Company earns
fees equal to a percentage of the savings realized by the employer or insurance
company. These fees constitute the majority of the Company's revenue. The
proprietary networks are referred to as Preferred Provider Organizations
("PPO's") or Exclusive Provider Organizations ("EPO's").
ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 4, 1992,
as Protokopus Corporation. On December 17, 1997, the Company acquired all of the
issued and outstanding common stock of Rockport Group of Texas, Inc. ("Rockport
Texas"), a Nevada corporation ("Rockport Texas"), in a business combination
accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization dated December 12, 1997, between the Company and Rockport Texas,
each outstanding share of common stock of Rockport Texas was converted to the
right to receive 961.6212 shares of common stock of the Company. On January 18,
1998, the Company changed its name from Protokopus Corporation to Rockport
Healthcare Group, Inc.
In late November 1998, the Company filed its Form 211. The Company
received its clearance letter from the National Association of Securities
Dealers ("NASD") on January 20, 1999, to begin trading its stock via the
Over-The-Counter ("OTC") Bulletin Board. The Company began trading on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the symbol "RPHL" on February 12, 1999.

THE COMPANY'S PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
The Company assists its customers in managing increased medical costs
associated with workers' compensation and group health plans by providing these
customers access to the Company's network of healthcare professionals and
facilities (the "Provider Network") consisting of PPO's and EPO's. The Company
also markets its medical access savings card. The Card offers the holder
discounted healthcare services and products throughout the United States. By
utilizing the Company's network of healthcare professionals and facilities, the
holder of a Card gets a discount on physician services, healthcare facilities,
prescriptions, dental services, chiropractic services, vision care services, and
hearing providers and other services and products.
The Provider Network is designed to reduce the price paid by the
Company's customers for medical services. The customer realizes savings due to
the reduced cost of healthcare services provided under the Provider Network and
its PPOs and EPOs. PPOs are typically groups of hospitals, physicians and other
healthcare providers that offer services at pre-negotiated rates to employer
groups. EPOs are networks in which the healthcare providers have agreed to
certain additional administrative pathways that are appropriate for occupational
medicine in exchange for greater financial incentives found in the PPO network
of providers. The Company, through its subsidiaries, provides PPO and EPO
networks as a part of its Provider Network for work related illnesses and
injuries, for accidents and illnesses (individual and group networks), and for
catastrophic illnesses and injuries. The Provider Network is marketed to third
party administrators, managed care organizations, insurers, case and utilization
management companies, self-funded employers, and other similar organizations.
Currently, the Company provides the Provider Network primarily in the area of
work related illnesses and injuries.
The Company's customers obtain reduced healthcare costs from the
Provider Network because the rate structure negotiated by the Company with
providers in its PPOs and EPOs are lower than the customers may otherwise be
able to obtain. For work related illnesses and injuries, employers obtain
reduced costs because the rate reductions by the providers in the Provider
Network are less than the state mandated fee schedules and/or below the usual
and customary allowables. As compensation, the Company receives a percentage of
the savings realized by the customer due to its employee's utilization of the
Provider Network. These fees constitute the majority of the Company's revenue.
The healthcare providers selected by the Company for its Provider
Network are selected on the basis of their clinical qualifications and their
adherence to the standards of care and service developed by the Company. The
Company ensures that the providers are geographically appropriate, accessible
and consumer friendly. The providers are required to approach the provision of
healthcare services in manner that groups related diagnoses and treatment
services as collective events. The providers monitor, document and report
treatment outcomes. The Company uses the results of these reports to improve the
processes and procedures of the Provider Network so that it provides high
quality care to the customers and the reports also allow the Company to improve
the Provider Network.
The Company has increased the number of providers that are a part of
its Provider Network. In 1999, the Company acquired a Texas PPO which has
contracts with 65 hospitals and 8,000 providers. The Company has also negotiated
access agreements with hospitals
-2-
<PAGE>
and providers in Arizona, California, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Nevada,
Ohio, Oklahoma and Tennessee as part of its development plan to create a
nationwide PPO network. Negotiations have begun with hospitals and providers
in Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and
Virginia to add these states to the nationwide network.
The Company utilizes four wholly owned subsidiaries in providing the
Provider Networks. The Company offers the Provider Network for work related
injuries and illnesses through Rockport Community Network, Inc., Rockport
Occupational Network, Inc. and Newton Healthcare Network, LLC. Through Rockport
Advanced Care, Inc., the Company intends to expand the scope of the Provider
Network in 2001 and 2002 to encompass networks with healthcare providers
servicing customers in the areas of disease, illness and injury-specific
tertiary and quartinary care (including, trauma, burns, transplants, hearts,
high-risk maternal, prenatal and neonatal, cancer, neurological and
gastrointestinal care).
The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Rockport Preferred,
Inc., offers customers the ability to obtain discounts on quality medical and
healthcare services by purchasing its Medical Access Saving Card. The Card
offers customers a discount on healthcare services delivered by physicians,
healthcare facilities, dentists, chiropractors, vision care providers and
hearing providers throughout the United States and a discount on prescriptions
throughout the United States. Typically, the Card can provide users with a 30%
discount on vision, dental and chiropractic, and hearing health services and on
prescriptions. The Company charges its customers an annual fee for the Card,
based upon the particular types of services and products for which a discount is
provided under the card. The appeal of the Card to employers is that while its
employees enjoy a significant cost savings on healthcare services, the employer
is provided with a simple solution for the administration of healthcare costs.
The market potential for the Medical Access Savings Card is large. It
is estimated that there are 110 million individuals in the United States who are
either uninsured or underinsured. These individuals could potentially benefit
from the Card. The Company plans to offer the Card both as a retail product and
as a product through private branding channels. With private branding, the Card
can be custom tailored by the sponsor or endorser to provide specific programs
and can contain branding identification of the sponsor or endorser.
The Company also offers support services to other companies in the
healthcare industry. For a fee, the Company provides companies in the heath care
industry management information services, customer services, physician and
facility referrals, contracting services (contracting providers and payors),
credentialing services (credentialing providers), and re-pricing.
COMPETITION
The managed healthcare industry and the Company's markets are highly
competitive. Healthcare, despite a continually changing reimbursement formula
and ten-year decline in net margins, continues to be this country's most
competitive industry. Quality and price of services and products, however,
continue to be distinguishing factors that customers and consumers will seek out
and purchase. The Company will compete by delivering comprehensive, integrated
services and/or products to defined healthcare populations with excellent
customer services and extremely competitive pricing. There are many managed
healthcare organizations, including many that are larger and have financial
resources
-3-
<PAGE>
significantly greater than the Company's. Included among the Company's
competitors are CorVel Corporation, First Health Corp., CCN and Focus. Most
of the competitors are national networks.
The Company anticipates it will only participate in one business
industry, the managed healthcare industry. This lack of diversification should
be considered a substantial risk in investing in the Company because it will not
permit the Company to offset potential losses from one venture against gains
from another. For several years the Federal government has proposed various
forms of national health insurance. Should a comprehensive national health
insurance program be enacted, the Company would have to modify its business plan
accordingly.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, PROPRIETARY RIGHTS, AND LICENSES
The Company regards certain features of its programs and services as
proprietary and relies on a combination of contract, copyright, trade secret
laws and other measures to protect its proprietary information. As part of its
confidentiality procedures, the Company generally obtains nondisclosure
agreements from its employees and hospital-clients and limits access to and
distribution of its software, documentation, and other proprietary information.
The Company believes that trade secret and copyright protection are less
significant than factors such as the knowledge, ability, and experience of the
Company's employees and the timeliness and quality of the services they provide.
The Company holds no federally registered trademarks.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Managed healthcare programs for group healthcare and workers'
compensation are conducted within a regulated environment. The Company's
activities are regulated principally at the state level, which means the Company
may be required to comply with certain regulatory standards which differ from
state to state. Although the laws affecting the Company's operations vary widely
from state to state, these laws fall into four principal categories: (i) laws
that require licensing, certification or other approval of businesses that
provide managed healthcare services; (ii) laws regulating the operation of
managed care provider networks; (iii) laws that restrict the methods and
procedures that the Company may employ in its health and workers' compensation
managed care programs; and (iv) proposed laws which, if adopted, would have as
their objective the reform of the healthcare system as a whole.
Generally, parties that actually provide or arrange for the provision
of healthcare services assume financial risk related to the provision of those
services, or undertake direct responsibility for making payment or payment
decisions for those services, are subject to a number of complex regulations
that govern many aspects of their conduct and operations. In contrast, the
services provided by the Company to its customers typically have not been the
subject of regulation by the federal government and most states. Since the
managed healthcare field is a rapidly expanding and changing industry and the
cost of providing healthcare continues to increase, it is possible that the
applicable state and federal regulatory frameworks will expand to more fully
regulate the conduct and operation of the Company's business.
-4-
<PAGE>
The Company's ability to provide comprehensive managed care services
depends in part on its ability to contract with or create networks of healthcare
facilities and providers which share the Company's objectives. The Company
offers access to networks of healthcare providers selected by the Company for
quality of care and pricing. New laws regulating the operation of managed care
provider networks have been adopted by a number of states. These laws may apply
to managed care provider networks having contracts with the Company or to
provider networks which the Company may organize or acquire. To the extent the
Company is governed by these regulations, it may be subject to additional
licensing requirements, financial oversight and procedural standards for
beneficiaries and providers. These regulations may result in increased costs of
operation for the Company, which may have an adverse impact upon the Company's
ability to compete with other available alternatives for healthcare cost
control.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), governs
employee benefit plans offered by employers who self-insure. Employers opt to
self-insure as a way to underwrite their own health claims and better control
their healthcare costs. Regulation of such self-insured benefit plans falls
under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Labor, which has
strict guidelines relative to such plans and to the Third Party Administrators
("TPA") which administer such plans. In addition to the ERISA guidelines, a TPA
may be subject to additional state requirements regarding registration.
The Company does not engage in any professional practice or control the
cost of professional services. Likewise, the Company does not believe that
membership in the Company's programs constitutes insurance subjecting the
Company to laws and regulations governing healthcare insurers and their
operations. Certain regulations, present in most state and local jurisdictions,
relating to the standards governing licensed healthcare professionals, prohibit
such professionals from compensating any third person for soliciting patients or
patronage on their behalf.
Regulations in the healthcare and workers' compensation insurance
fields are constantly evolving. The Company is unable to predict what additional
regulations, if any, affecting its business may be promulgated in the future.
The Company's business may be adversely affected by failure to comply with
existing laws and regulations, failure to obtain necessary licenses and
government approvals or failure to adapt to new or modified regulatory
requirements. Proposals for healthcare legislative reforms are regularly
considered at the federal and state levels. In addition, changes in workers'
compensation laws and regulations may impact demand for the Company's services,
require the Company to develop new or modified services to meet the demands of
the marketplace or modify the fees that the Company may charge for its services.
Recently, the managed care industry has received significant amounts of
negative publicity. This publicity, in turn, has contributed to increased
legislative activity, regulation and review of industry practices. These factors
may adversely affect the Company's ability to market its products or services,
could necessitate changes in the Company's products and services, and may
increase regulatory burdens under which the Company operates, further increasing
the costs of doing business and adversely affecting profitability.

EMPLOYEES
As of March 31, 2000, the Company had 18 full-time employees, with 17
employees located in Houston, Texas, and 1 employee located in Monument,
Colorado. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements with any unions
and believes that its overall relations with its employees are good.
VOLATILITY OF STOCK MARKET
The market prices of the securities of certain publicly-held companies
in the industry in which the Company operates have shown volatility and
sensitivity in response to many factors, including general market trends, public
communications regarding managed care, legislative or regulatory actions,
healthcare cost trends, pricing trends, competition, earnings and acquisition
activity. There can be no assurance regarding the level or stability of the
Company's share price at any time or the impact of these or any other factors on
share price.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company's executive and administrative offices are located at 50
Briar Hollow Lane, Suite 515W, Houston, Texas 77027, which facilities are leased
by the Company from an unaffiliated third party. The Company's lease on these
premises covers 12,219 square feet and expires on June 30, 2005. The monthly
rental for such premises is as follow:
July 11, 2000 to July 31, 2000: $0.00
August 1, 2000 to December 31, 2000: $12,557.76
January 1, 2001 to June 30, 2002: $16,332.55
July 1, 2002 to June 30, 2003: $16,831.17
July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2005: $17,340.80
The Company believes that the current facilities are adequate for its
present needs. Furthermore, the Company believes that suitable additional or
replacement space will be available when required on terms acceptable to the
Company. The Company has no present intent to invest in real estate, real estate
mortgages or persons primarily engaged in real estate activities, however, the
Company may change this policy at any time without a vote of security holders.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This management discussion contains certain forward-looking
statements as identified by the use of words like "expects", "believes", and
"anticipates" and other similar phrases. Such statements reflect management's
current view of future financial performance based on certain assumptions,
risks and uncertainties. If any assumption, risk or uncertainty factors
change, such changes may have a material impact on actual financial results.
The Company is under no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements
contained herein, which are as of the date hereof. Readers are cautioned to
not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this
discussion.
The following discussion of the results of operations and financial
condition of Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc. for the years in the two year
period ended March 31, 2000, should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Financial Statements and related notes thereto and schedules included
elsewhere herein.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999
REVENUE.
Total revenue increased by $249,365, or 569%, from $43,828 in 1999 to
$293,193 in 2000. Fees for the use of the healthcare provider network for work
related illnesses and injuries increased 687% from $32,070 in 1999 to $252,236
in 2000. Additional revenue was provided by network development charges.
During 2000, the Company continued its efforts in developing
compensation healthcare networks for work related illnesses and injuries in
various states and began aggressively marketing these networks. The Company
receives fees from companies who access and utilize its networks based on a
percentage of the cost savings achieved by the Clients utilizing the Company's
networks. The significant increase in the Company's clients is attributable to
the savings results being obtained by the current client base. The Company
intends to continue to expand its workers' compensation networks in other
states through contracting and acquisitions.
The Company has developed a medical access savings card, which among
other things, allows the holder of the card the right to access national
networks in the areas of physicians, dentists, providers of vision, hearing
and chiropractic services; and receive the benefits of prescription discounts
and a 24-hour nurse "hot-line". The medical access savings card was developed
for those individuals who cannot afford medical insurance, are uninsurable or
require a supplement to their current medical insurance plan. By accessing the
networks provided by the medical access savings card, the holders of the cards
obtain national discounts of care providers' rates over the non-contracted
rates. The holder of the medical access savings card pays an annual fee to the
Company for the use of the card and the Company shares a portion of the fee
with the networks accessed by the medical access savings card. The Company is
currently seeking joint venture marketing partners to sell the card.
-9-
<PAGE>
COST OF SALES.
Cost of sales increased from $3,097 during 1999 to $63,080 in 2000.
This was comprised primarily of fees the Company pays for accessing other
healthcare networks and commissions.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.
General and administrative expenses increased by $401,949, or 24%,
from $1,710,216 in 1999 to $2,112,165 in 2000. Increased staffing and
associated expenses to implement the Company's business plan were the primary
reasons for the increase. The Company is currently in a position to experience
a significant increase in revenue growth without a corresponding significant
increase in associated expenses thereby adding to the profitability of the
Company.
INTEREST EXPENSE.
Interest expense increased by $76,251, or 378%, from $20,179 in 1999
to $96,430 in 2000. This increase was a result of accrued interest payable on
the loans received by the Company during 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company requires additional outside capital to implement its
business plan. The Company has funded its operations through the sale of
Company common stock, borrowing funds from outside sources and conversion of
employee and director debt to common stock of the Company.
The Company has experienced significant revenue growth from the
utilization of its work related injuries and illnesses networks, and expects
this growth to continue during the following year. However, this continued
growth is conditioned on the Company signing more payors for its networks and
obtaining greater participation by consumers who are covered by such payors.
The Company will dedicate a significant portion of its future funding to the
continuing development and marketing of this product.
Should the Company not be able to raise the necessary funding to
implement the Company's business plan, the Company would not be able to
proceed prospectively, and therefore, would no longer anticipate being a going
concern. Should the funding of the private placement of Company common stock
not materialize, the Company is investigating alternative methods of obtaining
the funding required to implement its business plan.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits (rather than four) to define the applicable year. Computer
programs that have time-sensitive software may not recognize dates beginning
in the year 2000, which could result in miscalculations or system failures.
-10-
<PAGE>
Since all of the Company's computer programs have been created or purchased
from major vendors within the last two years, the Company is relying on these
vendors to ascertain and correct any Year 2000 Issues with the computer
programs. Additionally, the Company is also dependent on its contracted
medical providers, payor clients, and suppliers to successfully address their
respective Year 2000 Issues in connection with their computer systems and
claims processing functions.
The consequences of an uncorrected Year 2000 Issue could include
business interruption, exposure to monetary claims by clients and others and
loss of business goodwill. The likelihood of these events and the possible
financial impact if they occur cannot be predicted. As of March 31, 2000, the
Company has not experienced any disruptions as a result of the Year 2000 Issue.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements attached to this Annual Report
on Form 10-KSB as pages F-1 to F-11 are incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING

Houston, Texas as its auditors for the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
The Board of Directors
Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc.
Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Rockport
Healthcare Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders'
deficit and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rockport
Healthcare Group, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc. and subsidiaries will continue as a going
concern. As more fully discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, the
Company has incurred an accumulated net loss of $4,093,588 and negative
working capital of $713,516 as of March 31, 2000. This matter raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 10.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

ROCKPORT HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC.
(FORMERLY KNOWN AS PROTOKOPOS CORPORATION)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2000
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS
Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), formerly Protokopos Corporation, was incorporated on May 4, 1992.
The Company had no operating history other than organizational matters until
December 17, 1997, at which time the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding common stock of The Rockport Group of Texas, Inc. ("Rockport").
For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been treated as a reverse
acquisition of the Company by Rockport (see Note 6, "Reverse Acquisition by
Rockport"). The capital section of the Company was restated to reflect the
reverse merger.
The Company was established as a holding company to develop and/or
acquire business entities that deliver comprehensive, integrated products
and/or services to targeted healthcare populations. These products and
services include, but are not limited to, medical healthcare networks for
workers' compensation injuries and rehabilitation, individual and group
medical networks for accidents and illnesses, medical networks for
catastrophic illnesses and injuries and access to national medical, dental,
prescription, chiropractic and vision networks via private label or retail
medical access savings cards. The goal of the Company is to develop and
deliver high value, quality healthcare services and programs that create
provider and customer satisfaction as well as result in appropriate financial
return to investors in the Company.
The Company had the following wholly owned subsidiaries as of March
31, 2000 :
Rockport Advanced Care, Inc.
Rockport Community Network, Inc.
Rockport Group of Texas, Inc.
Rockport Occupational Network, Inc.
Rockport Preferred, Inc.
Newton Healthcare Network, LLC
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
for the purpose of presenting the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and held in banks in
unrestricted accounts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(continued)
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
computed on the straight-line method over the estimated economic lives of the
assets which range from 3 to 7 years.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes on the liability method, under
which the amount of deferred income taxes is based on the tax effects of the
differences between the financial and income tax basis of the Company's
assets, liabilities, and operating loss carryforwards at the balance sheet
date based upon existing tax laws. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it
is more likely than not that the future income tax benefit will be realized.
Since utilization of net operating loss carryforwards is not assured, no
benefit for future offset of taxable income has been recognized in the
accompanying financial statements.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when
estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and
its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. The Company has
not identified any such impairment losses.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could

Comprehensive income includes net income or loss, changes in certain assets
and liabilities that are reported directly in equity such as translation
adjustments on investment in foreign subsidiaries, changes in market value of
certain investments in securities, and certain changes in minimum pension
liabilities. The Company's comprehensive income was equal to its net loss for
the years ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

Revenue is recognized as products and services are delivered and
earned. Losses are recognized when reasonable estimates of the amount of the
loss can be made.

carrying values of the instruments due to the short-term maturities of such
instruments.

On December 17, 1997, the shareholders of Rockport approved a merger
with Protokopos Corporation (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,

changed its name to Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc. At the conclusion of the
Merger, the Company had 2,461,472 shares of common stock outstanding. As of
the date of the acquisition, Protokopos had no assets or liabilities.
7. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
One of the Company's subsidiaries has issued 1,000 shares of its 8%,
cumulative, non-participating preferred stock. The stock is redeemable at $200
per share and is redeemable out of future cash flows of the Company.

10. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc. will continue as a going concern. The
Company has incurred an accumulated net loss of $4,093,588 and has negative
working capital of $713,516 as of March 31, 2000. This matter raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company has funded its operations through the sale of Company
common stock, borrowing funds from outside sources and converting employee and
director debt to common stock of the Company. Should the Company not be able
to raise the necessary funding to implement its business plan, the Company may
not be able to continue as a going concern.
11. INCOME TAXES
The tax effect of significant temporary differences representing
deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 1999 and 2000, is as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
March 31,
------------------------------------
2000 1999
---------------- ---------------
<S> <C> <C>
Net operating loss carryforwards $ 1,209,000 $ 482,000
Valuation allowance (1,209,000) (482,000)
--------------- ---------------
Net deferred tax asset $ - $ -
=============== ===============
</TABLE>
The increase in the valuation allowance during fiscal 2000 of
$727,000 is the result of additional losses incurred during the year.
As of March 31, 2000, Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc. has net
operating loss carryforwards of approximately $3,224,000 which begin to expire
in 2009. Future utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards may be
limited by changes in the ownership of Rockport Healthcare Group, Inc. under
section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
The difference between the actual income benefit of zero for fiscal
years 1999 and 2000 and the expected benefit using the statutory income tax
rate of 34% results from the 100% valuation allowance on Rockport Healthcare
Group Inc.'s net operating loss deferred tax asset at each year end.
12. SIGNIFICANT CONCENTRATION
Two customers accounted for approximately 52% and 24% of sales for
the year ended March 31, 2000 and for approximately 37% and 40% of accounts
receivable at March 31, 2000.
