      Investments in marketable securities at March 31, 1996 consisted of a
professionally managed portfolio of short- term financial instruments including
short-term municipal bonds.  As of January 1, 1995, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities ("SFAS 115").  The effect of SFAS 115
is dependent upon classification of the investment.  As the Company's
investments are classified as available for sale, they are measured at fair
market value.  Any decline in the value of investments is recorded as a



                                      6

valuation allowance in the equity section of the balance sheet.  There are no
investments with maturities of greater than one year.


    Earnings per share

      Earnings per share was computed based on both the historical and
pro forma weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during
the period. The pro forma basis gives retroactive effect in 1995 to the
exchange of the Company's Redeemable Series A and Series B Preferred Stock at
the time of the Company's initial public offering.  Pursuant to Securities and
Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83, all stock options and
shares of Common Stock issued have been included as outstanding for the entire
period using the treasury stock method.


    Income Taxes

      The Company's effective tax rate for these periods differed from the
statutory rate due primarily to the amortization of goodwill and state income
taxes.  The Company's effective tax rate is expected to vary from the statutory
rate for the remainder of the fiscal year.


    Pre-Operating and Contract Start-Up Costs

      The Company has elected to expense as incurred, and segregate from other
operating costs, those costs related to the preparation for and implementation
of new products and contracts for services to new customers prior to the
initiation of significant new revenue activity from these new revenue
initiatives.


    Stock-Based Compensation

      In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.  123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting
for Stock Based Compensation," which will be adopted by the Company in 1996.
SFAS 123 establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based
compensation plans.  However, it also allows companies to continue to apply the
intrinsic value method currently prescribed by existing generally accepted
accounting principles on the condition that pro forma disclosures are made
illustrating the effect of the fair value based method on the income statement.

      The Company has not yet decided if it will apply the effects of SFAS 123
to its income statement upon adoption in 1996 or if it will provide pro forma
disclosures only.


3.  CREDIT FACILITY

      On April 22, 1996, the Company received commitments to a $75 million
senior credit facility from several participating banks, subject to customary
conditions including satisfactory documentation. First Union National Bank of
North Carolina ("First Union") will serve as administrative agent with respect
to this facility.  The Company plans to use available capital from the facility
to refinance its existing $20 million credit facility with First Union, to fund
acquisitions, and to support other general corporate purposes.  Like the 
existing credit facility, the new facility will contain  provisions which 
require the Company to maintain certain minimum financial ratios, impose 
limitations on acquisition activity, and prohibit the Company from declaring or
paying any dividend upon any of its capital stock without the consent of First 
Union.

4.  ACQUISITIONS

      On August 31, 1995, HPS acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock of TPCM.  TPCM's principal business is the administration of
medical benefits for self-funded health care plans.

      On October 12, 1995, HPS acquired substantially all of the assets and 
assumed certain liabilities of the third party administration business of
Diversified Group Brokerage Corporation ("DGB"), effective as of October 1,
1995.

      Both TPCM and DGB have experienced declining revenues due to customer
attrition.  If additional customers elect to change suppliers, it could have an
adverse effect on the expected economic benefits of the acquisitions.  The
Company has begun consolidating and integrating the operations of the TPCM and
DGB businesses, and intends to continue this process in 1996.

      On January 8, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Medirisk, 
Inc. ("Medirisk"), a provider of proprietary health care information products
and services that track the price and utilization of medical procedures, to
purchase $2.0 million of Medirisk preferred stock representing a 9% ownership
interest in Medirisk accounted for by the Company under the cost method.  In
addition, the Company agreed to lend Medirisk up to $10.0 million over four
years in the form of debt, with interest payable to the Company at a rate of
10% per annum, for which the Company would receive detachable warrants to
purchase Medirisk common stock at $0.01 per share.  On March 15, 1996, Medirisk
exercised its option to issue $6.9 million in debt, and has acquired two health
care data companies using proceeds from the Company's preferred stock
investment and debt purchase.  The investment could result in the Company
owning up to 25% of Medirisk.


5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

      On May 15, 1996, the Company significantly reduced the staff at its
Memphis, Tennessee office from approximately 80 employees to eight employees,
in order to achieve operational efficiencies.  The Memphis office provides
claims administration services for clients obtained in the TPCM acquisition.
The Company will operate this claims administration business primarily from
its Tampa, Florida and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma offices.  The Company intends
to continue consolidating and integrating the operations of TPCM and DGB during
the remainder of 1996.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

A.       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following is a discussion of material changes in the consolidated
results of operations of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 1996
compared to the same period in 1995.  The Company provides distribution,
enrollment, billing and collection, claims administration, and information
reports and analysis on behalf of health care payors and providers.  Its
customers include small businesses, health care purchasing alliances, HMOs and
other managed care organizations, insurance companies, and organizations with
self-funded health care plans.  It serves approximately 85,000 businesses, plan
holders and governmental agencies in 50 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto
Rico.  The following table sets forth certain operating data as a percentage of
total revenues for the periods indicated:

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1995

         Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased $7.4
million, or 31.4%, to $31.0 million from $23.6 million for the same period in
1995.  This increase resulted primarily from revenue of $4.6 million produced
by the Company's 1995 acquisitions, $1.1 million in revenue from the new
alliance contract in Kentucky, $0.8 million in revenue from new Administrative
Services Only ("ASO") contracts, and interest income of $0.5 million from the
proceeds of the Company's initial public offering on May 19, 1995.  Revenues
provided from Multiple Employer Trust ("MET") business increased by



                                      9

<PAGE>   11


$0.1 million from the same period in 1995, and by $0.4 million from the fourth
quarter of 1995.  This was the second consecutive quarter of increasing MET
revenues after seven consecutive quarters of MET revenue decreases.

         Agents commissions expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996
increased $0.5 million, or 5.4%, to $9.8 million from $9.3 million for the same
period in 1995.  Agents commissions represented 32.2% of operating revenues in
1996 (39.7% in 1995).  This decrease in commissions as a percentage of revenue
resulted primarily from an increase in ASO and alliance revenue as a percentage
of total revenue.  As a percentage of revenue, MET agents commissions are
typically significantly greater than ASO agents commissions. There are no
agents commissions associated with alliance revenues.  MET agents commissions
represented 44.2% of MET revenues in 1996 (46.7% in 1995), and ASO agents
commissions represented 13.6% of ASO revenues in 1996 (9.9% in 1995).

         Personnel costs for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased
$2.2 million, or 35.5%, to $8.4 million from $6.2 million for the same period
in 1995.  This increase primarily resulted from the additional costs associated
with the Company's 1995 acquisitions and the alliance contract in Kentucky.

         General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1996 increased $1.8 million, or 45.0%, to $5.8 million from $4.0 million
for the same period in 1995.  This increase primarily resulted from other
operating expenses (primarily postage, telephone and printing) related to the
Company's 1995 acquisitions and costs associated with the Kentucky alliance and
new ASO contracts.

         The Company incurred $0.3 million in pre-operating and start-up costs
during the three months ended March 31, 1996.  These costs related primarily to
the state-sponsored health care purchasing alliances in North Carolina and
Washington, the private alliance in Texas and the new ASO contracts, and
consisted of salaries and wages and temporary help, printing and travel
expenses.

         Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 increased $0.4 million, or 44.4% to $1.3 million from $0.9
million in 1995.  This increase related primarily to an increase in the
amortization of goodwill related to the Company's 1995 acquisitions.


B.       LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         On May 19, 1995, the Company completed an initial public offering
which generated net proceeds of approximately $51.0 million.  On August 31,
1995, HPS used approximately $7.5 million of the offering proceeds to acquire
all of the outstanding capital stock of TPCM.  On October 12, 1995, HPS used
approximately  $5.1 million of the proceeds to acquire substantially all of the
assets of the third party administration business of DGB. The Company placed an
additional $5 million of the proceeds in an escrow account to guarantee the
availability of funds for semi-monthly payments due with respect to the DGB
acquisition.  On January 13, 1996, using offering proceeds, the Company
acquired $2.0 million of preferred stock of Medirisk, representing a 9%
ownership interest in Medirisk, and on March 15, 1996, Medirisk exercised its
option to issue $6.9 million of debt with detachable warrants to the Company.
To date the Company has not elected to convert the detachable warrants into
common stock of Medirisk.

         The Company intends to continue to utilize the remaining net proceeds
of the public offering to fund working capital, to expand the Company's core
business through selective acquisitions of other health care administration,
marketing and information businesses, to further invest in the health care
purchasing alliance business, to finance completion of the conversion of the
Company's information systems to client-server technology, to develop an
electronic, automated claims adjudication system and for other general
corporate purposes, including the development of new information-based products
with data generated by the Company's claims adjudication system.




                                      10
<PAGE>   12


         Pending use of the remaining net proceeds from the offering as
described above, the Company has invested the proceeds in short-term fixed
income obligations of investment grade quality.

         On April 22, 1996, the Company received commitments to a $75 million
senior credit facility from several participating banks, subject to customary
conditions including satisfactory documentation.  First Union will serve as
administrative agent with respect to this facility.  The Company plans to use
available capital from the facility to refinance its existing $20 million
facility with First Union, to fund acquisitions, and to support other general
corporate purposes. Like the existing credit facility, the new facility will
contain  provisions which require the Company to maintain certain minimum
financial ratios, impose limitations on acquisition activity, and prohibit the
Company from declaring or paying any dividend upon any of its capital stock
without the consent of First Union.

         Based on current expectations, the Company believes that all
operating, investing and financing activities for the remainder of 1996 and the
foreseeable future will be met from internally generated cash flow, available
cash, or its existing or future credit facility.

C.       SEASONALITY AND INFLATION

         The Company has not experienced any pattern of seasonality with
respect to its sales.

         The Company does not believe that inflation had a material effect on
its results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 or March
31, 1995.  There can be no assurance, however, that the Company's business will
not be affected by inflation in the future.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In November 1995, Self Funded Strategies, L.L.C. ("SFS") filed a
complaint against the Company in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas.
SFS provided sales and marketing services for the Company's ASO business
between July 1992 and August 1995, when the Company terminated its contract with
SFS.  The SFS complaint alleges that the Company wrongfully terminated the SFS
contract, and also alleges tortious interference and breach of implied covenant
of good faith and fair dealing.  The complaint, which has been served on the 
Company, asserts an estimated $25 million in compensatory damages plus 
unspecified punitive damages.  The Company and SFS are negotiating an agreement
to resolve this dispute through binding arbitration.  The Company intends to 
defend its interests in this matter vigorously.  There can be no assurance, 
however, regarding the outcome of this matter, and an adverse outcome could 
have a material adverse effect on the Company.

ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES

      At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company held on May 2, 1996,
the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company from 25,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.
