                         HEALTHPLAN SERVICES CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2000

1.  Description of Business and Organization

       HealthPlan Services Corporation (together with its direct and indirect
wholly owned subsidiaries, "HealthPlan Services") is a leading managed health
care services company, providing marketing, distribution, administration, and
medical cost management services for health care plans and other benefit
programs. HealthPlan Services' customers include insurance companies, health
maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and other managed care organizations, and
organizations with self-funded benefit plans. HealthPlan Services provides these
services to over 100,000 groups covering over 3 million members in the United
States. HealthPlan Services functions as a service provider generating fee-based
income and does not assume any underwriting risk.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

    Basis of Presentation

         The interim financial data is unaudited and should be read in
conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto
included in the HealthPlan Services' 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2000.

       In the opinion of Management, the interim data includes all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for fair presentation
of financial position and results of operations for the interim periods
presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full
year.

       The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of HealthPlan
Services Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

    Earnings Per Share

         Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the income available
to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for
the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. The calculation
of diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of outstanding options and
warrants using the treasury stock method, unless antidilutive.

    Reclassifications

         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year's presentation. These amounts do not have a material impact on the
financial statements taken as a whole.

    Restructure Charges

         During the first quarter of 2000, HealthPlan Services recorded a total
of $0.8 million in restructuring costs for the closure of a facility in
Merrimack, New Hampshire and other reductions in our workforce. The costs
reflected employee and lease terminations. HealthPlan Services terminated 75
employees in management and claims administration. At June 30, 2000, a balance
of $0.2 million remained to be paid for severance costs related to the charge in
2000, a balance of $0.3 million remained to be paid for severance costs related
to the charge in 1999, and a balance of $0.4 million remained to be paid for a
lease termination related to the charge in 1998.

    Other expenses

         On April 14, 2000, HealthPlan Services agreed to terminate its merger
agreement with UICI. As a result, it expensed $1.1 million of costs including
legal, financial advisory, and other fees, associated with this transaction in
the quarter ended June 30, 2000.

3.  Notes Payable and Credit Facility

         On June 8, 2000, HealthPlan Services closed on its Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement
provides for a $73.8 million term loan facility, a $25.0 million revolving
credit facility, and a letter of credit facility of up to $16.0 million
available for current letters of credit. Under the term loan facility, a payment
of $250,000 was required at closing and monthly for a two-month period
commencing June 30, 2000 and repayments of $500,000 each month thereafter with
additional repayments of $15.0 million on January 31 and July 31, 2001, and a
final payment on August 31, 2001. The revolving credit facility has a final
maturity date of August 31, 2001. Interest rates vary from the higher of (a) the
Prime Rate or (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, plus a margin of 1.5%
to 3.0%. The Credit Agreement required an initial payment of 1.0% of the maximum
amount of the facility plus certain administrative fees and an annual commitment
fee of .25% for letters of credit and unused commitments. HealthPlan Services
capitalized approximately $1.4 million of bank fees relative to the Credit
Agreement. Under the loan terms, HealthPlan Services must maintain certain
financial covenants for revenue and EBITDA as defined in the Credit Agreement,
is restricted in capital expenditures and issuance of dividends, and is subject
to prepayment with proceeds of certain future activities such as sale of certain
assets, public offerings, and the like. In June 2000, HealthPlan Services
recorded an extraordinary loss on the restructure of the debt of $1.5 million
($1.0 million net of taxes) for fees capitalized under the previous facility. On
July 5, 2000, upon the sale of HealthPlan Services' unemployment compensation
and workers compensation units, HealthPlan Services used the proceeds to reduce
its debt by $18.0 million (see Note 6). Of this amount, $6.7 million represents
projected income taxes which may be re-borrowed upon their due date in September
2000. As of July 5, 2000, the balance outstanding under HealthPlan Services'
Credit Agreement was $76.4 million.

         HealthPlan Services has also entered into two separate interest rate
swap agreements as a hedge against interest rate exposure on the variable rate
debt. The agreements, which expire in 2001, effectively convert $40.0 million of
variable debt under the Credit Agreement to fixed rate debt at a weighted
average rate of 6.18%. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, HealthPlan
Services recognized zero interest expense related to the swap agreements.
HealthPlan Services considers the fixed rate and variable rate financial
instruments to be representative of current market interest rates and,
accordingly, the recorded amounts approximate their present fair market value.

         HealthPlan Services has additional notes of $5.6 million in the
aggregate. The notes relate to a 1993 acquisition, the 1998 acquisition of
CENTRA, and equipment purchases, of which $0.3 million is due within one year.

                                       7

4.  Investments

         At December 31, 1999, HealthPlan Services owned 109,732 shares of
Caredata.com Inc. ("Caredata.com"), a provider of health care information.
During the first quarter of 2000, HealthPlan Services sold 82,600 of its shares
in Caredata.com and recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of $0.3 million.
HealthPlan Services sold its remaining 27,132 shares in Caredata.com in April
2000, and recognized an additional pre-tax gain of $50,000.

         As HealthPlan Services' investment in common shares of HealthAxis Inc.
is classified as available for sale, it is measured at fair market value. Any
increase or decline in the value of investments is recorded as unrealized
appreciation or depreciation in the equity section of the balance sheet.
HealthPlan Services recognizes gains and losses based on average costs.

       Investments in common stock and joint ventures in which HealthPlan
Services exercised significant influence but lacked control were accounted for
on the equity basis. Under the equity method, HealthPlan Services recorded its
proportionate share of income and loss of each investment. As of December 31,
1999, all such investments were liquidated.

5.  Litigation

         In the ordinary course of business, HealthPlan Services may be a party
to a variety of legal actions that affect any business, including employment and
employment discrimination-related suits, employee benefit claims, breach of
contract actions, and tort claims. In addition, because of the nature of its
business, HealthPlan Services could be subject to a variety of legal actions
relating to its business operations, including disputes alleging errors in claim
administration, underwriting, or premium billing. HealthPlan Services currently
has insurance coverage for some of these potential liabilities. Other potential
liabilities may not be covered by insurance, insurers may dispute coverage, or
the amount of insurance may not cover the damages awarded.

         In the third quarter of 1999, HealthPlan Services recorded $5.7 million
in pre-tax expense. This reserve reflected management's best estimate of the
possible ultimate liability to HealthPlan Services as a result of, among other
things, a claim exceeding $7.0 million asserted by a customer, as well as
unquantified claims asserted by two customers and seven insurance brokers, and
the failure of mediation efforts with a customer that had previously asserted a
claim exceeding $2.0 million. The customers alleged breach of contract and
related claims, and the brokers alleged loss of profits due to small group
business declines. The balance in this reserve at June 30, 2000, was $3.2
million. The reserve is reviewed and adjusted quarterly.

       In January 1997, HealthPlan Services' subsidiary HealthPlan Services,
Inc. began providing marketing and administrative services for health plans of
TMG Life Insurance Company (now known as Clarica Life Insurance Company), with
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company ("CIGNA Re") acting as the reinsurer.
In January 1999, insureds under this coverage were notified that coverage would
be canceled beginning in July 1999. Substantially all coverage under these
policies is expected to terminate by December 31, 2000. In July 1999, Clarica
asserted a demand against HealthPlan Services, Inc. for claims in excess of $7.0
million for breach of contract and related claims, and HealthPlan Services, Inc.
asserted breach of contract and various other claims against Clarica. A reserve
for these claims was included in the reserve that HealthPlan Services
established in the third quarter of 1999. In April 2000, Clarica and CIGNA Re
jointly submitted a demand for consolidated arbitration in connection with these
claims and claims submitted by CIGNA Re for approximately $6.0 million. The
demand for arbitration was subsequently withdrawn, without prejudice to refile
separate demands. On April 28, 2000, HealthPlan Services, Inc. filed a claim
against CIGNA Re in the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, Florida. The
claim alleges that CIGNA Re breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing in
connection with the performance of its agreement with HealthPlan Services, Inc.
CIGNA Re removed the proceeding to the United States District Court for the
Middle District of Florida.

         On April 17, 2000, Admiral Insurance Company ("Admiral"), HealthPlan
Services' errors and omissions carrier, filed a complaint for declaratory
judgement in the United States District Court for the Middle District of
Florida, naming HealthPlan Services, Inc., Clarica, and CIGNA Re as defendants.
The action seeks a declaration that HealthPlan Services, Inc.'s alleged breaches
of its agreements with CIGNA Re and Clarica are not covered under the terms of
HealthPlan Services' policy with Admiral. On May 1, 2000, HealthPlan Services,
Inc. filed its

                                       8
<PAGE>
answer to Admiral's complaint, denying that Admiral is entitled to relief and
asserting various defenses. In July 2000, citing the withdrawal of the CIGNA Re
and Clarica consolidated arbitration demand, Admiral filed a motion to place the
action in administrative suspension, pending the resubmission of an arbitration
demand by CIGNA Re or Clarica. The District Court granted Admiral's motion on
July 26, 2000.

         HealthPlan Services intends to mount a vigorous defense of the Clarica,
CIGNA Re, and Admiral claims, and to continue pursuit of its claims against
Clarica and CIGNA Re. While the ultimate financial effect of these claims cannot
be fully determined at this time, in the opinion of management they will not
have a material adverse effect on the accompanying financial statements.

6. Subsequent Events

       On July 5, 2000, HealthPlan Services sold its unemployment compensation
and its workers compensation units for approximately $19.4 million cash.
HealthPlan Services' unemployment compensation business operated under the name
R.E. Harrington, and its workers' compensation unit conducted business as
Harrington Benefit Services Workers' Compensation Division. Both units were part
of HealthPlan Services' acquisition of Columbus, Ohio-based Harrington Services
Corporation in 1996. HealthPlan Services used the net cash proceeds from the
sale to reduce its bank debt by $18.0 million, including $6.7 million of
projected income taxes on the transaction which may be re-borrowed upon their
due date in September 2000. As a result of the transaction, HealthPlan Services
expects to recognize a pre-tax gain in the third quarter of $7-8 million.

         On June 16, 1998, HealthPlan Services acquired a 50.1% interest in
CENTRA. CENTRA was formed by an agreement between HealthPlan Services and CENTRA
Benefit Services, Inc. ("CBS") in which substantially all the assets in CBS's
third party administration business, which administers self-insured employee
benefit plans, were transferred to CENTRA. HealthPlan Services paid $0.2 million
for a 1% interest in CENTRA and acquired an additional 49.1% interest from CBS
in exchange for the payment of $7.4 million ($9.3 million purchase price net of
the payoff of a CBS note), the issuance of $4.0 million in five-year 5.75% notes
convertible into approximately 180,000 shares of HealthPlan Services' stock, a
purchase price holdback of up to $1.2 million, and additional contingent
consideration. In addition to such contingent consideration, CBS was given the
right to put its remaining interest in CENTRA at a contractual price not to
exceed $6.0 million within two years of the acquisition date if CENTRA met
certain financial performance criteria. CBS exercised its put right and on April
29, 1999, HealthPlan Services paid CBS $4.4 million, which represented a payment
of $5.5 million for CBS's 49.9% interest in CENTRA, offset by amounts due to
HealthPlan Services in connection with the CENTRA acquisition. In January 2000,
HealthPlan Services paid $0.9 million to CBS in settlement of the purchase price
holdback. On July 13, 2000, HealthPlan Services paid CBS $3.0 million in
contingent consideration.

</TABLE>

Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999

         Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000 decreased $6.5
million, or 9.2%, to $64.4 million from $70.9 million in 1999. Revenues from
fully insured customers decreased by $5.8 million, reflecting reduced revenues
of $10.9 million due to certain carrier partners exiting the fully insured
market beginning in 1999 and the termination of our administrative and marketing
agreements with Sunstar Health Plan, Inc. This decrease in fully insured
revenues was partially offset by new revenues from United Benefit Life Insurance
Company. Revenues from self-insured customers decreased by $2.7 million, due
primarily to the decrease of revenues from care management services and
terminated customers. Revenues from Medical Cost Management customers increased
by $2.1 million as compared to the same period in 1999, due to the addition of
new customers.

                                       11
<PAGE>
         Agent commission expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000
decreased $0.4 million, or 2.8%, to $13.8 million from $14.2 million for the
same period in 1999. This decrease is consistent with the decrease in fully
insured revenues for the period indicated, as described above. Fully insured
commissions as a percent of fully insured revenues increased to 52.7% in the
three months ended June 30, 2000, from 44.6% for the same period in 1999. This
increase resulted from higher commissions as a percent of United Benefit Life
Insurance Company revenues than those experienced for the carriers who are
exiting the fully insured market and Sunstar HealthPlan, Inc.

         Personnel expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 decreased
$1.5 million, or 5.3%, to $26.9 million from $28.4 million in 1999. This
decrease was primarily attributable to reduced salaries resulting from a
reduction of approximately 315 employees in our workforce related to office
closures and the elimination of positions in fully insured and self-insured
administration.

         General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30,
2000 decreased $2.4 million, or 12.5%, to $16.8 million from $19.2 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable
to reduced professional services related to the decrease in care management
revenues and the outsourcing of care management administration to a new vendor
and a reduction in bad debt expense. The decrease in professional services was
partially offset by increased costs associated with electronic imaging of our
records and network fees paid on the increased Medical Cost Management revenues.

         During the second quarter of 2000, we recorded a total of $1.1 million
in legal, financial advisory, and other fees associated with the termination of
our merger agreement with UICI.

         During the second quarter of 2000, we entered into an agreement to sell
the remaining 27,132 shares of Caredata.com, Inc. stock, resulting in a pre-tax
gain of $50,000.

         Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased to
$2.7 million from $1.8 million in 1999. This increase resulted primarily from
increased debt of $5.0 million on our line of credit as well as an increased
average interest rate of 330 basis points on the line of credit due to the
amended terms of the credit facility (see Note 3).

       We recorded an extraordinary loss of $1.0 million net of taxes on our
credit facility during the three months ended June 30, 2000 (see Note 3). This
loss represented $1.5 million of pre-tax non-interest fees and expenses
connected with the prior facility, which were previously subject to amortization
over five years.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1999

         Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased $15.6
million, or 10.7%, to $129.8 million from $145.4 million for the same period in
1999. Revenues from fully insured customers decreased by $14.4 million,
reflecting reduced revenues of $23.3 million due to certain carrier partners
exiting the fully insured market beginning in 1999 and the termination of our
administrative and marketing agreements with Sunstar Health Plan, Inc. This
reduction in fully insured revenues was partially offset by new revenues from
United Benefit Life Insurance Company. Revenues from self-insured customers
decreased by $5.5 million, due primarily to the reduction of revenues from care
management services and terminated customers. Revenues from Medical Cost
Management customers increased by $4.3 million as compared to the same period in
1999, due to the addition of new customers.

       Agent commission expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased
$3.7 million, or 12.0%, to $27.1 million from $30.8 million for the same period
in 1999. This decrease is consistent with the decrease in fully insured revenues
described above for the period indicated, as described above. Fully insured
commissions as a percent of fully insured revenues increased to 51.9% for the
six months ended June 30, 2000, from 46.3% for the same period in 1999. This
increase resulted from higher commissions as a percent of United Benefit Life
Insurance Company revenues than those experienced for the carriers who are
exiting the fully insured market and Sunstar HealthPlan, Inc.

       Personnel expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 decreased $2.9
million, or 5.0%, to $55.4 million from $58.3 million for the same period in
1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to reduced salaries

                                       12
<PAGE>
resulting from a reduction of approximately 315 employees in our workforce
related to office closures and the elimination of positions in fully insured and
self-insured administration.

       General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000
decreased $3.9 million, or 10.2%, to $34.2 million from $38.1 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1999. This decrease was primarily attributable to
reduced professional services related to the decrease in care management
revenues and the outsourcing of care management administration to a new vendor.
This decrease in professional services was partially offset by increased costs
associated with electronic imaging of our records and network fees paid on the
increased Medical Cost Management revenues.

       During the first quarter of 2000, we recorded a total of $0.8 million in
restructuring costs for the closure of a facility in Merrimack, New Hampshire
and other reductions in our workforce. The costs reflected employee and lease
terminations. We terminated 75 employees in management and claims
administration. We recorded $0.9 million in restructuring costs during the six
months ended June 30, 1999. These costs reflect employee terminations and
computer software associated with reductions in our fully insured customer
workforce in Tampa, Florida. There were 63 employees terminated in management,
claims administration, and information systems.

       During the second quarter of 2000, we recorded a total of $1.1 million in
legal, financial advisory, and other fees associated with the termination of our
merger agreement with UICI.

       During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we entered into an agreement
to sell all 109,732 shares of our Caredata.com, Inc. stock, resulting in a
pre-tax gain of $0.3 million. During the second quarter of 1999, HealthPlan
Services entered into an agreement to sell 1,415,000 of its shares of
HealthAxis.com stock resulting in a pre-tax gain of $3.6 million.

       Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased to $5.0
million from $3.6 million in 1999. This increase resulted primarily from
increased debt of $5.0 million on our line of credit as well as an increased
average interest rate of 260 basis points on the line of credit due to the
amended terms of credit facility (see Note 3).

       We recorded an extraordinary loss of $1.0 million net of taxes related to
our credit facility during the three months ended June 30, 2000 (see Note 3).
This loss represented $1.5 million of pre-tax non-interest fees and expenses
connected with the prior facility, which were previously subject to amortization
over five years.

B.     YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we spent an additional $1.2
million for a total cost of $12.8 million to complete our Year 2000 compliance
project, a project that began in 1996 to address the issue of computer programs
which would not properly recognize a year beginning with "20" instead of the
familiar "19." To date, we have not experienced disruptions in any of our
computer systems related to Year 2000 compliance. Although we have not
experienced any disruptions at this time and do not anticipate any further
significant expenditures, we cannot guarantee that any disruptions that might
occur from any data exchange with vendors or that customers would not experience
material adverse effects if any disruption did occur.


C.     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         On June 8, 2000, we closed on our Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement provides for a $73.8
million term loan facility, a $25.0 million revolving credit facility, and a
letter of credit facility of up to $16.0 million available for current letters
of credit. Under the term loan facility, a payment of $250,000 was required at
closing and monthly for a two-month period commencing June 30, 2000 and
repayments of $500,000 each month thereafter with additional repayments of $15.0
million on January 31 and July 31, 2001, and a final payment on August 31, 2001.
The revolving credit facility has a final maturity date of August 31, 2001.
Interest rates vary from the higher of (a) the Prime Rate or (b) the Federal
Funds rate plus 1/2 of 1%, plus a margin of 1.5% to 3.0%. The Credit Agreement
required an initial payment of 1.0% of the maximum amount of the facility plus
certain administrative fees and an annual commitment fee of .25% for letters of
credit and unused commitments. We capitalized approximately $1.4 million of bank
fees relative to the Credit Agreement. Under the loan terms, we must maintain
certain financial covenants for revenue and EBITDA as defined in the Credit

                                       13
<PAGE>
Agreement, is restricted in capital expenditures, and is subject to prepayment
with proceeds of certain future activities such as sale of certain assets,
public offerings, and the like. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we
paid $4.5 million of interest on our credit agreements.

         On July 5, upon the sale of our unemployment compensation and workers
compensation units, we used the proceeds to reduce its debt by $18.0 million. Of
this amount, $6.7 million represents projected income taxes which may be
re-borrowed upon their due date in September 2000.

         On July 13, 2000, we paid $3.0 million to CENTRA Benefit Services, Inc.
in settlement of the contingent consideration related to our purchase of CENTRA
in 1998 (see Note 6).

         As of July 6, 2000, we have paid $1.1 million related to our terminated
merger with UICI in legal, financial advisory, and other fees.

         On June 1, 2000, we paid $2.2 million, including principal and
interest, to the former owner of National Preferred Provider Network, Inc.
("NPPN") as part of the additional contingent consideration relating to our
acquisition of NPPN in 1998.

         During 2000, we have paid $1.0 million in adverse claim settlements
against a reserve established in the third quarter of 1999, which relates to
various claims asserted against us.

         During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we paid $3.0 million in
connection with the closure of CENTRA's Richardson, Texas office, which was
announced in 1999, and our Merrimack, New Hampshire office, which was announced
in the first quarter of this year.

         We spent $3.6 million for capital expenditures during the six months
ended June 30, 2000.

         Based upon current expectations, we believe that all consolidated
operating and financing activities for the next twelve months will be met from
internally generated cash flow from operations, available cash, or our amended
Credit Agreement.

         HealthPlan Services has retained financial advisers to assist in the
examination of its strategic banking alternatives.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         We are exposed to certain market risks inherent in our financial
instruments. These instruments arise from transactions entered into in the
normal course of business and, in some cases, relate to our acquisitions of
related businesses. We are subject to interest rate risk on our existing Credit
Agreement and any future financing requirements. Our fixed rate debt consists
primarily of outstanding balances on our notes issued to C G Insurance Services,
Inc., the former owner of CENTRA, and certain equipment notes, and our variable
rate debt relates to borrowings under our Credit Agreement. See "Liquidity and
Capital Resources."

         The following table presents the future principal payment obligations
(in thousands) and weighted-average interest rates associated with our existing
long-term debt instruments, assuming our actual level of long-term indebtedness
of $100.0 million as of June 30, 2000:

</TABLE>

         Our primary market risk exposure relates to (i) the interest rate risk
on long-term and short-term borrowings, (ii) the impact of interest rate
movements on its ability to meet interest expense requirements and exceed
financial covenants, and (iii) the impact of interest rate movements on our
ability to obtain adequate financing to fund future acquisitions.

         We manage interest rate risk on our variable rate debt by using two
separate interest rate swap agreements. The agreements, which expire in
September and December 2001, effectively convert $40.0 million of variable rate
debt under the Credit Agreement to fixed rate debt at a weighted average rate of
6.18%.

       While we cannot predict our ability to refinance existing debt or the
impact interest rate movements will have on our existing debt, our management
continues to evaluate our financial position on an ongoing basis.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

         In January 1997, our subsidiary HealthPlan Services, Inc. ("HPS") began
providing marketing and administrative services for health plans of TMG Life
Insurance Company (now known as Clarica Life Insurance Company), with
Connecticut General Life Insurance Company ("CIGNA Re") acting as the reinsurer.
In January 1999, insureds under this coverage were notified that coverage would
be canceled beginning in July 1999. Substantially all coverage under these
policies is expected to terminate by December 31, 2000. In July 1999, Clarica
asserted a demand against HPS for claims in excess of $7.0 million for breach of
contract and related claims, and HPS asserted breach of contract and various
other claims against Clarica. In the third quarter of 1999, we recorded a
reserve for the Clarica claim and other claims. In April 2000, Clarica and CIGNA
Re jointly submitted a demand for consolidated arbitration in connection with
these claims and claims submitted by CIGNA Re for approximately $6.0 million.
The demand for arbitration was subsequently withdrawn, without prejudice to
refile separate demands. On April 28, 2000, HPS filed a claim against CIGNA Re
in the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, Florida. The claim alleges that
CIGNA Re breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing in connection with the
performance of its agreement with HPS. CIGNA Re removed the proceeding to the
United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

       On April 17, 2000, Admiral Insurance Company, our errors and omissions
carrier, filed a complaint for declaratory judgement in the United States
District Court for the Middle District of Florida, naming HPS, Clarica, and
CIGNA Re as defendants. The action seeks a declaration that HPS's alleged
breaches of its agreements with CIGNA Re and Clarica are not covered under the
terms of our policy with Admiral. On May 1, 2000, HPS filed its answer to
Admiral's complaint, denying that Admiral is entitled to relief and asserting
various defenses. In July 2000, citing the withdrawal of the CIGNA Re and
Clarica consolidated arbitration demand, Admiral filed a motion to place the
action in administrative suspension, pending the resubmission of an arbitration
demand by CIGNA Re or Clarica. The District Court granted Admiral's motion on
July 26, 2000.

       We intend to mount a vigorous defense related to the Clarica, CIGNA Re,
and Admiral claims, and to continue pursuit of our claims against Clarica and
CIGNA Re. While the ultimate financial effect of these claims cannot be fully
determined at this time, in the opinion of management they will not have a
material adverse effect on the accompanying financial statements.
