PACE HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial information should be read in conjunction with the
annual financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
1997. The financial information included herein is unaudited; such information
reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary in
order to make the financial statements not misleading.

The results of operations for the three months are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.

NOTE 2.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT AND RESTRICTED CASH

In February 1998, the Company entered into retention agreements with its
remaining employees. These agreements provide for the payment to the employee of
a specified bonus amount upon the earliest to occur of the following: (a) June
30, 1998 if the employee is employed by the Company on such date, (b) the date
of a Change in Control (as defined in the agreement) if the employee is employed
by the Company on such date, (c) termination of employment by the Company for
any reason other than Cause (as defined in the agreement), or (d) termination of
employment by the employee for Good Reason (as defined in the agreement), and
upon the satisfaction of certain additional conditions. Under the terms of the
retention agreements, the Company was required to deposit into an escrow account
the amount of the bonuses. Under the escrow agreement, the deposited funds are
no longer the property of the Company except for bonuses which may be forfeited
by employees under the terms of the agreements. Subsequent to the quarter ended
March 31, 1998, an escrow account was established with a financial institution
in the amount of approximately $337,000.

NOTE 3.  BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share,
which requires the Company to present basic and diluted loss per share amounts.
Basic loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is based on the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding
during the period. Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options and
warrants (using the treasury stock method) and convertible preferred stock
(using the if-converted method). Dilutive potential common shares are excluded
from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

GENERAL. PACE Health Management Systems, Inc was organized in 1987 as a computer
systems consulting firm. In 1989, the Company began to develop and market a
nursing station care plan management system built around an artificial
intelligence-based "Clinical Library." In late 1992, the Company recognized what
it believed to be a significant opportunity for software applications integrated
with the Clinical Library to address the point-of-care clinical information
systems market and began to develop the PACE Clinical Information System
("PACE/CIS"). In early 1993, the Company discontinued marketing the nursing
station care plan management system as a stand-alone product and focused on
development of PACE/CIS. As a result, no new systems were installed during 1994,
and no license fee revenues were recorded during that year. During fourth
quarter of 1995, the Company discontinued the marketing and sale of PACE/CIS,
the system from which the Company had derived substantially all of its revenues
in 1995, and introduced PACE CMS, a comprehensive care management system
representing a significant enhancement to PACE/CIS. In 1996, PACE CMS, the
system from which the Company derives substantially all of its revenues, was
enhanced through the first release of a graphical user interface (GUI) utilizing
a three-tier, client/server, open-systems architecture ("Graphical PACE CMS").

During the second quarter of 1997, the Company expanded its product line into
the ambulatory market when it purchased substantially all of the assets of
Healthcare Software Solutions, L.C. (HSS), an affiliate of Wellmark, Inc.
(formerly IASD Health Services Corp.). HSS, headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa,
was developing clinical information systems for use by physicians working in
single-practitioner offices, multi-specialty groups, and multi-site clinics.
This "MR2000 for Windows" product integrates every element of the traditional
paper chart into an electronic clinical information system that improves
practice efficiency and the quality of care. The system provides point and click
access to healthcare information that facilitates the development of treatment
protocols and enables physicians to track patients' problems, symptoms,
treatments and outcomes

Prior to April 1995, the Company financed operations with capital contributed by
private investors. In April 1995, the Company completed its initial public
offering, selling 1,300,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share for net
proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.5 million. Effective as of the
closing of the initial public offering, all outstanding shares of the Company's
preferred stock issued during previous rounds of private financing were
converted to common stock on a one-to-one basis. In September 1996, the Company
sold 900,000 shares of common stock at $3.25 per share for net proceeds to the
Company of approximately $2.8 million. In the third and fourth quarters of 1997,
the Company sold 2,250,000 shares of convertible participating preferred stock
at $1.00 per share representing total proceeds of $2,250,000. In the first
quarter of 1998, the Company sold an additional 625,000 shares of convertible
participating preferred stock at $1.00 per share representing proceeds of
$625,000. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 2 shares of common
stock.

The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from the sale of PACE
systems including (a) software license fees, (b) software implementation and
installation services and (c) hardware sales. Revenue from software license fees
is recognized upon delivery of the software provided that collectibility is
probable and the Company has no significant obligations remaining under the
software licensing agreement. The estimated costs of any insignificant remaining
obligations are accrued and charged to costs and expenses at the time of revenue
recognition. Revenue from software license fee agreements that require
significant customization is accounted for over the length of the implementation
period using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenue from
implementation and installation services is accounted for 


<PAGE>


separately from the software license fees and recognized when the services are
performed. Revenue from hardware sales is recognized upon shipment or upon
completion of significant staging and configuration obligations. Customer
support services, which include system updates, are recognized over the period
the services are performed.

The Company capitalizes software development costs that relate primarily to
either the development of new software or significant enhancements to existing
software. Software costs are capitalized in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed," which requires
capitalization of expenses following determination of technical feasibility and
until the software is ready for general release. The capitalized costs are
amortized by the greater of (a) the ratio that current gross revenues for
software sales bear to the total of current and anticipated future gross
revenues for such software sales, or (b) the straight-line method over the
estimated economic life of the software, usually three to seven years. At each
balance sheet date, the unamortized capitalized costs of a computer software
product are compared to the net realizable value of the product and the amount
by which the unamortized capitalized costs exceed the net realizable value is
written off. The net realizable value is the estimated future gross revenues
from a product, reduced by the estimated future costs of completing and
disposing of that product.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET REVENUES: Net revenues include systems revenues and customer support
services. The Company's net revenues were $301,672 and $641,584 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing a decrease of
53%. Included in systems revenues is revenue from software license fees totaling
$48,124 and $34,196, implementation fees totaling $25,745 and $80,657, and
revenue from hardware sales totaling $15,451 and $407,536 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. In the three months ended March 31,
1997, the Company realized increased hardware revenue from sales to three new
customers during their initial phases of implementation and installation.
Systems revenues declined in the first quarter of 1998 following delays in
implementation of several signed contracts (see "Liquidity and Capital
Resources"). Customer support services revenues were $212,352 and $119,195 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing an
increase of 78%. This change was due to increased support services as a result
of the new sales initiated in the first quarter of 1997.

COST OF SYSTEMS REVENUES: Cost of systems revenues includes hardware purchases,
third party software, commissions and royalties. Cost of systems revenues were
$38,056 and $398,759 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, representing a decrease of 905%. This decrease is a result of
costs associated with decreased hardware sales. Cost of systems revenues totaled
13% and 62% of total net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. Total cost of systems revenues as a percentage of total net
revenues could continue to fluctuate in the future depending on the product
mixes of revenues.

CLIENT SERVICES: Client services expenses include salaries and expenses related
to implementation, installation and customer support. Client services expenses
were $384,142 and $278,918 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, representing an increase of 38%. This increase was primarily due
to increases in personnel and payroll related expenses as client services were
expanded to provide implementation services and customer support for the
additional sites initiated in 1997. The 

<PAGE>


Company expects these expenses will decrease in the future as a result of the
corporate downsizing that occurred in February 1998 (see "Capital and Liquidity
Resources").

PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: Product development expenses include salaries and expenses
related to development and documentation of software systems, net of capitalized
software development costs. Product development expenses were $470,648 and
$428,011 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
representing an increase of 10%. The Company capitalized $59,216 and $147,528 of
product development costs and amortized $55,817 and $25,698 in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Capitalized product development
costs declined during the three months ended March 31, 1998 as various products
were made available for general release.

SALES AND MARKETING: Sales and marketing expenses include salaries, advertising,
trade show costs and travel expenses related to the sale and marketing of the
Company's systems. Sales and marketing expenses were $221,598 and $387,873 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing a
decrease of 43%. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in sales personnel
and payroll related expenses due to the consolidation of sales territories and a
corporate downsizing in February 1998.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE: General and administrative expenses include salaries
and expenses for the corporate administration and finance, legal, insurance and
depreciation expenses. General and administrative expenses were $334,272 and
$350,304 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
representing a decrease of 5%. The Company expects these expenses will decrease
in the future relative to a corporate downsizing that occurred in February 1998.

OTHER INCOME, NET: Other income, net is comprised primarily of interest income
and expenses. Other income, net was ($174,660) and $2,288 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. This decrease of $176,948 was a result of
decreased interest income caused by reduced cash balances and increased interest
expense caused by additional borrowing on the line of credit. Included in 1998
is other expense relative to the amortization of unearned debt guarantee fees in
the amount of $133,142.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES: No provision for income tax benefit has been
recorded due to the Company recording a valuation allowance on the deferred tax
assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since inception in 1987, the Company's primary source of funding for working
capital needs, capital expenditures, and its operating losses has been from the
sale of common and convertible participating preferred stock. During this time,
the Company completed numerous private placements, receiving approximately $7.8
million in aggregate net proceeds. In 1995, the Company completed its initial
public offering, selling 1,300,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share for
net proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.5 million. In September 1996,
PACE sold 900,000 shares of common stock at $3.25 per share for net proceeds of
approximately $2.8 million. In the third and fourth quarters of 1997, the
Company sold $2,250,000 shares of convertible participating preferred stock at
$1.00 per share representing total proceeds of $2,250,000. During the first
quarter of 1998, the Company sold an additional 625,000 shares of convertible
participating preferred stock at $1.00 per share representing total proceeds of
$625,000. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 2 shares of common
stock.

<PAGE>


For the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, the Company reflected
net losses of $1,188,562 and $1,199,993 respectively, resulting in net cash used
in operations for each of the periods of $459,029 and $1,402,766, respectively.
Accounts payable, customer deposits, and accrued expenses decreased $123,430 to
$1,528,409 at March 31, 1998 from $1,651,839 at December 31, 1997.

Accounts receivable decreased $731,240 to $644,245 at March 31, 1998 from
$1,375,485 at December 31, 1997 due to increased collections on customer
balances and reduced billings in the period. The Company has established an
allowance for doubtful accounts which management believes is adequate. Included
in accounts receivable is accrued revenue which decreased $271,550 to $389,751
at March 31, 1998 from $661,301 at December 31, 1997. The accrued revenue
receivable consists primarily of (a) revenue from site license agreements for
which the Company has delivered and installed the first of multiple copies of a
software product to be installed at various customer sites in exchange for a
fixed fee and (b) revenue from equipment delivered, but not yet billed. Under
these site license agreements, license fees are due at specified dates or, if
earlier, upon the installation and system set-up at each site.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997 was $71,088 and $227,441, respectively. Cash used in investing
activities was primarily for the purchase of computer and office equipment and
capitalized computer software costs.

Net cash provided by and (used in) financing activities for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $604,393 and ($4,109), respectively. Net cash
provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1998
was primarily related to proceeds from the sale of convertible participating
preferred stock.

As of March 31, 1998, the Company had a cash balance of $599,632. The Company
also has a $2,000,000 revolving line of credit with a financial institution that
expires May 31, 1998. The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all
assets of the Company and personal guarantees totaling $1,000,000 by two of the
Company's shareholders. Interest is payable monthly at prime (8.5% at March 31,
1998). Outstanding borrowings totaled $2,000,000 at March 31, 1998.

While short-term working capital was obtained from existing investors during the
last 9 months, the Company has been unable to secure long-term funding. The lack
of sufficient long-term capital on the Company's balance sheet, representing
financial stability to prospective customers, resulted in the delayed
implementation of several signed contracts and the delayed completion of
numerous pending contracts in which PACE had been named Vendor-of-Choice. As a
result, certain operational and financial changes were implemented subsequent to
year-end. To reduce overhead and minimize the Company's cash needs, the Company
downsized its operations. As a part of this downsizing, approximately 40
employees were terminated and various other cost-saving measures are under
examination. The reductions were targeted at legacy non-graphical product areas,
allowing the Company to continue directing resources into the development, sales
and implementation of the Graphical PACE CMS products.

The Company is continuing to evaluate and, where appropriate, pursue long-term
capital or strategic partnering, including potential merger or sale
alternatives. However, there is no assurance these efforts will be successful.
The inability to obtain long-term capital would adversely affect the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern in the longer term.

<PAGE>


As indicated above, the Company's existing investors purchased $625,000 of
convertible participating preferred stock during the first quarter of 1998. The
Company believes that this capital, combined with operating cash flows, existing
cash balances, and possibly additional capital from investors will adequately
fund operations while a long-term solution is being secured, or until at least
the end of 1998.
