NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1998
(UNAUDITED)
1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998
included herein is unaudited. Such information includes all adjustments,
consisting of a normal and recurring nature, which in the opinion of management,
are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's Statements of Net Assets
in Liquidation, Statements of Operations, Statement of Changes in Net Assets in
Liquidation, Changes in Shareholders' Equity and Cash Flows in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. Such information should be read in
conjunction with Management's Plan of Operation included herein and the Notes to
Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1997. The interim operating results are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.
As a result of the sale of its operations to HMO Blue on December 19, 1997, the
Company has changed from a going-concern basis of accounting to a liquidation
basis of accounting effective December 31, 1997.
2. LIQUIDATION BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
A liquidation basis of accounting was implemented as of December 31, 1997. The
statements of net assets in liquidation at December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998
do not distinguish between current and long-term balances as would be reflected
if such statements had been prepared on a going-concern basis. The consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 are
presented on a going-concern basis.
3. SALE OF GROUP CONTRACTS AND PROVIDER AGREEMENTS
On December 19, 1997, the Company consummated the transfer and assignment of
certain provider and subscriber contracts constituting its HMO and PPO
operations (the "Transaction") to Medigroup of New Jersey, Inc. (the
"Purchaser") or HMO Blue, the health maintenance orgainizaiton affilitated with
Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, Inc. The Company received a cash payment
of $1,839,300 as consideration for the transfer and assignment.
Although the Company has sold its operations to HMO Blue, the Company remains
responsible for the payment of claims incurred prior to the December 19, 1997
date of the closing of the transaction with HMO Blue. The Company expects that
it will surrender its COA to New Jersey insurance regulators at such time as
the regulators approve, based on the regulators' determination that the Company
has satisfied its liabilities, expected in late 1998 or early 1999. After such
surrender, it is expected that the Company will be dissolved and assets
remaining, if any, after satisfaction of the Company's liabilities will be
distributed to stockholders. Amounts distributed in respect of each outstanding
share of the Company's common stock are expected to be substantially lower than
the purchase price paid for such shares. However, the Company is unable to
determine the final amount that would be available for distribution.
Dissolution would require additional stockholder action.
4. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
Effective September 1, 1994, the Company entered into a management agreement
with Medical Group Management, Inc. ("MGM"), a subsidiary of New Jersey State
Medical Underwriters, Inc. ("NJSMU"). The management agreement with MGM
provided, among other things, that MGM was responsible for all administration
and management of the company. This agreement was terminated effective as of
July 31, 1997.
Effective July 1, 1997, the Company entered into a Management Services
Agreement (the "Management Agreement") with the Purchaser. Under the terms
of the Management Agreement, the Purchaser is providing the Company
management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the
Company including, but not limited to, claims processing, member services,
enrollment, provider assistance, utilization management and financial
services. The cost of such services is based upon a per member per month
fee, and was lower than management fees previously paid by the Company.
After the sale of operations on December 19, 1997, the Company's Management
Agreement transitioned to a payment arrangement based on hourly fees. For
the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Purchaser has estimated its
management fees will not exceed $60,000, and that amount has been accrued in
Accounts Payable on the June 30, 1998 Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation.
In addition, effective August 1, 1997, the Company engaged The Pace Group,
Inc. ("Pace") to provide certain management transition services and certain
corporate financial and reporting assistance not otherwise provided by the
Purchaser.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is a defendant in an action entitled Behari vs. Physician Healthcare
Plan of New Jersey, et.al., docket number L-2397-97 in Superior Court of Morris
County, New Jersey. In that action, the Plaintiff seeks to recover unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages together with interest and litigation costs
from the Defendants for alleged wrongful termination of an employment agreement
alleged between the Plaintiff and the Defendants and for defamation, among
other related caused of action. The Company believes that it has excellent
defenses which it intends to vigorously pursue. The case is in early stages of
litigation and the Company cannot estimate the amount of potential loss at this
time.
In addition, an action entitled Benjamin Levine, M.D. vs. Physician Healthcare
Plan of New Jersey, docket number DC-2841-98, was filed in Superior Court of
New Jersey Law Division, Special Civil Part, Mercer County. The Plaintiff
sought to recover $10,000 together with interest and litigation costs from the
defendants for redemption of stock. On August 14, 1998 the Court issued a
summary judgement in connection with the action.
6. REINSURANCE
The Company renewed its reinsurance coverage to cover claims incurred through
December 19, 1997 (the closing date of the transaction with the Purchaser)
and paid within an additional 90 days. An endorsement was negotiated to
extend the paid period for claims incurred to December 19, 1998.
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Financial Statements and the Notes thereto provided herein.
The Company sold its operations to the Purchaser on December 19, 1997,
following the December 9, 1997 shareholder meeting at which the sale was
approved, and has continued efforts through 1998 year to date to wind down
operations. As a result, effective December 31, 1997, the Company changed its
basis of accounting from a going-concern basis to a liquidation basis. During
the six months ended June 30, 1998, management activities have been limited to
continuing the Company's payment of existing liabilities, stewardship of
remaining assets, and maintaining compliance as appropriate in reporting to
applicable regulatory bodies.
Although the Company has sold its operations to HMO Blue, the Company
remains responsible for the payment of claims incurred prior to the December
19, 1997 date of the closing of the transaction with HMO Blue. The Company
expects that it will surrender its Certificate of Authority to New Jersey
insurance regulators at such time as the regulators approve, based on the
regulators' determination that the Company has satisfied its liabilities,
expected in late 1998 or early 1999.
<PAGE> 10
Results of Operations
The Company's net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was
$89,293 as compared to a net loss of $(4,770,856) for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. 1998 income was generated largely from receipt of 1997 premium
revenues in the second quarter of 1998.
For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company incurred
notes varied and administrative costs of $231,517, as compared to $768,471 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997. In 1998, such costs and expenses relate to
the limited management activities of the Company including, but not limited to,
costs and expenses incurred due to legal fees, actuarial and accounting
assistance, insurance, and printing and shareholder communications expenses.
The Company's administrative costs decreased relative to 1997 as the Company
disposed of leased office space, terminated all employees, and sold all
remaining fixed assets to MGM, its former management company. See Note 3 of the
Notes to Financial Statements for June 30, 1998.
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, $2,295,728 in medical claims
were paid against the Company's existing balance of Incurred But Not Reported
(IBNR) reserves, all of which were accrued and accounted for as medical
expenses in the prior period as is appropriate per generally accepted
accounting principles. Management has elected to maintain the claims liability
remaining on a conservative basis until actual risk data concludes otherwise.
$1,900,000 of this was paid in the first quarter 1998 and the Company expects
claims amounts to continue to decline.
During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company earned $250,020
in investment income, as compared to $287,918 earned during the six months
ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in investment income was principally the
result of reduced investment levels following the operating losses incurred
during 1997, partially offset by the investment of proceeds of the sale of
contracts to the Purchaser in the amount of 1,839,300.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
As of June 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $7.6 million in cash
and cash equivalents and investments in U.S. Treasury obligations.
Management believes sufficient liquid funds are available to satisfy any
remaining liabilities, medical or otherwise, likely to occur in the near
future (including, without limitation, costs and expenses related to the
administration of liquidation such as legal and actuarial fees, insurance,
accounting fees, and printing and shareholder communication expenses).
The Company has not made any liquidating distributions since assuming a
liquidation status and does not anticipate a future distribution until such
time as outstanding liabilities are confirmed as extinguished and net assets
available for liquidation are entirely complete. Additionally, the New Jersey
Department of Banking and Insurance and Department of Health and Senior
Services must approve the surrender of the Company's Certificate of Authority.
The Company operates under a Management Agreement with the Purchaser,
whereby the Purchaser provides most administrative and financial services
required by the Company. Since December 31, 1997, employers whose health
insurance was formerly placed with the Company have continued to deposit
premiums in the Company's bank account, although membership has transferred to
the Purchaser. As of June 30, 1998, the Company reported $1,637,524 in
Investments Held for Others, all of which is due to the Purchaser for health
insurance provided after December 19, 1997. The offsetting liability is
recorded as due to Management Company.
Contingent Liabilities
As the scope of these liabilities becomes better defined, there may be
changes in the estimates of future costs, which could have a material effect on
the Company's financial condition, liquidity and future ability to make
liquidating distributions. However, the Company currently believes, based on
claims payment experience through June 30, 1998, that existing IBNR reserves
and standing reinsurance agreements will adequately insulated the Company from
any material medical claims in excess of outstanding recorded liabilities. See
Note 6 of the Notes to Financial Statements for June 30, 1998 for discussion of
the Company's reinsurance coverage.
The discussion in this Quarterly Report contains certain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the
Company's plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. The statements should
not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the expectations or
plans of the Company will be achieved. Actual results or events could differ
materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences include, but are not limited to, the effect of requirements
imposed by regulatory agencies, the amount of claims submitted by members who
were enrolled in the Company's health care plans through December 19, 1997, the
level of non-medical expences incurred by the Company and the returns on the
Company's investments.
PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
The Company is a defendant in an action entitled Behari vs. Physician
Healthcare Plan of New Jersey, et. al., docket number L-2397-97 in
Superior Court of Morris County, New Jersey. In that action, the
Plaintiff seeks to recover unspecified compensatory and punitive
damages together with interest and litigation costs from the Defendants
for alleged wrongful termination of an employment agreement alleged
between the Plaintiff and the
<PAGE> 11

Company believes that it has excellent defenses which it intends to
vigorously pursue. The case is in early stages of litigation and the
Company intends to vigorously defend this action.
In addition, an action entitled Benjamin Levine, M.D. vs. Physician
Healthcare Plan of new Jersey, docket number DC-2841-98, was filed in
Superior Court of New Jersey Law Division, Special Civil Part, Mercer
County. The Plaintiff sought to recover $10,000 together with interest
and litigation costs from the defendants for redemption of stock. On
