                     Independent Accountants' Review Report


We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of QMed,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of August 31, 2002, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three
months and nine months ended August 31, 2002 and 2001 and condensed consolidated
statements of stockholders' equity and cash flows for the nine months then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's
management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of
November 30, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated January 14, 2002, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30,
2001, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

Note 8 - Fees Reimbursable to Health Plans

Health plans, which utilize the disease management program of the Company, pay
participating physicians certain fees for their services related to the use of
the program. Such fees are additional costs to the health plans, which in most
cases are deducted from fees paid to the Company. As of August 31, 2002, and
November 30, 2001 there was $2,150 and $15,524, respectively, outstanding under
these provisions.

Note 9 - Business Segment Information

The Company presents segment information in accordance with SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which
established reporting and disclosure standards for an enterprise's operating
segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for
which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the
Company's senior management.

The Company segments are organized into two business units, disease-management
services and medical equipment sales, which are considered reportable segments.
The segments are managed separately and the Company evaluates performance on
operating profits of the respective segments. The Company supports both segments
with shared human resources, clinical, marketing and information technology
resources. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as
those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1.
Income (loss) before income taxes by operating segment excludes interest income,
interest expense and general corporate expenses.

Summarized financial information by operating segment for three and nine months
ending August 31, is as follows:

Note 10 - Earnings per Share

For the three month period ended August 31, 2002, the basic and diluted loss per
share were the same because the assumed conversion of warrants and stock options
outstanding, which totaled 1,957,539 were antidilutive and not included in the
calculation of loss per share. For the three and nine month period ended August
31, 2001, the basic and diluted loss per share were the same because the assumed
conversion of warrants and stock options outstanding, which totaled 2,513,006
and 2,275,268, respectively, were antidilutive and not included in the
calculation of loss per share.

Note 11 - Line of Credit

On September 11, 2001, the Company entered into a loan agreement with First
Union National Bank for a $1 million line of credit. The annual interest rate is
the lower of the bank's reference rate minus 1% or the LIBOR Market Index Rate
plus 1.5%. The line is collateralized by securities owned by the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Overview

 QMed, Inc. is a Delaware corporation and is the successor by merger to the
business of a New Jersey corporation organized on February 1, 1983. Interactive
Heart Management Corp. ("IHMC(R)"), a subsidiary founded during the year ended
November 30, 1995 ("fiscal 1995"), developed and is marketing an integrated
cardiovascular disease management system under the name "ohms|cvd(R)" (Online
Health Management System for Cardiovascular Disease). It includes related
systems to assist health plans, government organizations and employer groups in
managing the incidence, treatment, and cost of cardiovascular conditions,
including coronary artery disease ("CAD"), stroke, congestive heart failure
("CHF"), hypertension, hyperlipidemia and the cardiovascular complications of
diabetes. These systems are designed to aid primary health care physicians in
the use of optimal medical management for patients with these conditions, as
well as those at high risk of developing these conditions. The net impact of
this approach is the improvement in cardiovascular health and the associated
reduction in its cost. As of August 31, 2002, the Company had contracts to
provide its services to 15 health plans nationwide.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains forward-looking statements, which are based upon current
expectations and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In order for the
Company to utilize the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, investors are hereby cautioned that these
statements may be affected by the important factors, among others, set forth
below, and consequently, actual operations and results may differ materially
from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. The important factors
include: the Company's ability to renew and/or maintain contracts with its
customers under existing terms or restructure these contracts on terms that
would not have a material negative impact on the Company's results of
operations; the Company's ability to execute new contracts for health plan
disease management services; the risks associated with a significant
concentration of the Company's revenues with a limited number of health plan
customers; the Company's ability to effect estimated cost savings and clinical
outcome improvements under health plan disease management contracts and reach
mutual agreement with customers with respect to cost savings, or to effect such
savings and improvements within the timeframes contemplated by the Company; the
ability of the Company's health plan customers to provide timely and accurate
data that is essential to the operation and measurement of the Company's
performance under the terms of its health plan contracts; the Company's ability
to resolve favorably contract billing and interpretation issues with its health
plan customers; the ability of the Company to effectively integrate new
technologies into the Company's care management information technology platform;
the ability of the Company to obtain adequate financing to provide the capital
that may be needed to support the growth of the Company's health plan operations
and financing or reinsurance to support the Company's performance under new
health plan contracts; unusual and unforeseen patterns of healthcare utilization
by individuals within the health plans with cardiovascular conditions, including
coronary artery disease ("CAD"), stroke, congestive heart failure ("CHF"),
hypertension, hyperlipidemia and the cardiovascular complications of diabetes
which the Company has executed a disease management contract; the ability of the
health plans to maintain the number of covered lives enrolled in the plans
during the terms of the agreements between the health plans and the Company; the
Company's ability to attract and/or retain and effectively manage the employees
required to implement its agreements with health plan organizations; and the
impact of future state and federal healthcare legislation and regulations on the
ability of the Company to deliver its services and on the financial health of
the Company's customers and their willingness to purchase the Company's
services. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any such
forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the consolidated
financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended November 30, 2001. The consolidated financial statements
are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following policy is considered by management to be the most critical in
understanding the judgments involved in preparing the financial statements and
the uncertainties that could impact the Company's results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.

                                       11

Revenue Recognition

The Company enters into contractual arrangements with health plans to provide
disease management services. Revenue from such contracts is calculated on
various performance-based and fee based methodologies and recorded as services
are provided. Performance-based contracts have varying degrees of risk
associated with the Company's ability to deliver the guaranteed financial cost
savings. In most cases the Company guarantees a percentage reduction of disease
costs compared to a prior baseline year determined by actuarial analysis and
other estimates used as a basis to measure performance objectives. The
measurement of the Company's performance against the base year information is a
data intensive and time consuming process that is typically not completed until
six to eight months after the end of the contract year. The Company bills its
customers each month for the entire amount of the fees contractually due based
on previous months membership, which always includes the amount, if any that may
be subject to refund for member retroactivity and a shortfall in performance.
The Company adjusts or defers revenue for contracts where we believe that there
could be an issue of non-performance, possibly resulting in a refund of fees or
where fees generated may be subject to further retroactive adjustment associated
with a contract or plan's decision to completely terminate its coverage in a
geographic market and general membership terminations. For example, general
terminations can be due to death, member change of health plan, etc. Adjustments
for non-performance under the terms of the contract or other factors affecting
revenue recognition are accrued on an estimated basis in the period the services
are provided and are adjusted in future periods when final settlement is
determined. These estimates are periodically reviewed and adjusted, as interim
information is available.

The Company determines its level of performance at interim periods based on
medical claims data, achievement of enrollment targets and other data required
to be supplied by the health plan. In the event these interim performance
measures indicate that performance targets are not being met or sufficient data
is unavailable, fees subject to refund are not recorded as revenues but rather
are recorded as a current liability entitled "contract billings in excess of
revenues." Under performance based arrangements, the ability to make estimates
at interim periods can be challenging due to the inherent nature of the medical
claims process and the lag time associated with it. In most cases, paid claims
data is not available until up to six months after claims are incurred. Although
interim data measurement is indicative of performance objectives, actual results
could differ from those estimates. As of August 31, 2002, based on information
and data available at this time, the Company has provided an allowance of
approximately $1,650,000, of which approximately $1,400,000 was recorded during
the three months ended August 31, 2002, related to contracts with two Regence
health plans and has been reflected as contract billings in excess of revenues
on the balance sheet. Management believes these estimates adequately provide for
any potential adjustments that may be applied to revenues from this contract.
Since the contract is a multi year agreement, both sides have proposed certain
modifications to the agreement, which, as of this date have not been
satisfactorily resolved. While all sides to the negotiations appear to believe
that a final and positive resolution is possible, it may also be possible that
the contract may terminate, therefore, the necessary steps have been taken this
quarter to increase reserves in that eventuality.

Contract billings in excess of revenues on the balance sheet in the amount of
approximately $1,650,000 consists of revenue from two health plan customers,
Regence Oregon and Washington, which may be subject to refund. HeartMasters, a
limited liability company consisting of the Company and a partner LifeMasters,
has three separate lines of business, two health maintenance organizations
("HMO") lines and one preferred provider organization ("PPO"), under contract
with Regence Oregon and Washington under which the Company provides coronary
artery disease management services and Life Masters provides services for
congestive heart failure. The Company also has contracts with Regence of Idaho
and Utah. Regence Idaho and Utah contracts are not subject to the same terms and
conditions as those in Oregon and Washington. In addition, the Idaho and Utah
contract outcomes are designed to measure the company's disease management of
coronary disease and stroke against a control population not managed by a formal
disease management process. It has been determined by the Company's management
as well as the management of the health plans that while there were modest
savings in Oregon and Washington, the contract contained a number of
unforeseeable issues, which made the expected outcome unachievable. Certain
provisions in the contract covering "all claims" versus "disease specific"
claims had a negative impact on contract performance to date. These provisions
are not included in any of the Company's other disease management contracts.
Furthermore, QMed alone operates all of the Company's other contractual
agreements without any outside partner's involvement. Approximately $1,400,000
of the $1,650,000 amount in contract billings in excess of revenues on the
balance sheet is subject to reconciliation at future periods, however, since the
first contract year reconciliation did not provide positive results, enrollment
targets have not improved, and since the company has not yet been successful in
renegotiating agreement terms with Regence, all of the revenue from this
agreement which is estimated to be subject to refund is deferred in accordance
with the Company's revenue recognition policy. If reconciliation or renegotiated
contract terms provides positive results, revenue from this contract will be
recorded at that time.

Revenues for the three and nine month periods ended August 31, 2002 increased
17% and 84%, respectively, over the same periods in 2001. This increase in
revenues resulted primarily from an increase in the membership covered by the
Company's disease management programs. As of August 31, 2002, our programs
covered approximately 1,570,000 members compared to approximately 850,000
members as of August 31, 2001. At August 31, 2002, of the total health plan
members under contract, the Company had approximately 1,335,000 million
commercial members and 235,000 Medicare+Choice members compared to approximately
715,000 commercial members and 135,000 Medicare+Choice members at May 31, 2001.
Revenue from Medicare+Choice members is significantly higher than commercial
members. During the third quarter of fiscal 2002 the Company continued
implementation of its contract with Providence Health Plan in Oregon, which
represents our third health plan in that state. During June 2002 the Company
also began implementation of its program with PacifiCare of Arizona and during
September 2002 began in PacifiCare of Colorado. The Company has also begun the
enrollment process for the Medicare Coordinated Care Demonstration during July
2002. Under the award, the Company is implementing its ohms|cad disease
management technology in a controlled randomized study of Medicare beneficiaries
who have been diagnosed previously with CAD. Patient enrollment began in
California during July 2002 and the Company will receive fees from the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services for up to four years. The Company anticipates
that revenues for the remainder of fiscal 2002 will increase over fiscal 2001
primarily as a result of additional lives enrolled under both existing and
anticipated new contracts with health care providers, subject to certain
performance guarantees, as well as those continuing to be enrolled under the
Medicare program.

Gross profit margins for the three months ended August 31, 2002 decreased to
43.1% from 54.3% in the prior year and remained at approximately 55% for the
nine month period ending August 31, 2002. This decrease was directly related to
the increase of revenue reserved as described above. Without the additional
reserve of approximately $1.4 million, gross profit margins would have risen to
approximately 63% compared to 54% for the comparable three month period and to
61% compared to 56% for the comparable nine month periods. This increase would
have been attributable to our leveraging staffing resources in states where the
Company has multiple health plan contracts as well as improvements in product
software development. Software improvements have enhanced the speed at which
information flows from our database to the physician and permitted the Company
to serve significantly larger populations with modest staff increases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended August
31, 2002 decreased by less than 1% compared to the prior year. Selling, general
and administrative costs for the nine months ended August 31, 2002 increased by
14% compared with the prior period. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in administrative staff, legal costs associated with contracting
issues, and consulting expenses. The Company anticipates selling, general and
administrative expenses to increase as a result of increases in its management
team to support its growth and to move the corporate headquarters into a larger
facility, which is expected to be complete in November 2002.

Research and development expenses for the three and nine months ended August 31,
2002 increased by 59% and 68%, respectively, when compared to the prior fiscal
year periods. During the past year the Company has focused its efforts primarily
on the development of new, advanced software programs to help us better
identify, locate and evaluate patients who are at risk for developing various
disease conditions. These programs incorporate state of the art
telecommunications, data management, security and information technology. The
Company intends to continue to improve and expand the capabilities of the
ohms|cvd system ongoing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, the Company's principal sources of working capital have been provided
by proceeds from public and private placements of securities and the sale of
certain assets. Since the Company's inception, sales of securities and assets
have generated approximately $31,000,000 less applicable expenses.

The Company had working capital of $6,848,781 at August 31, 2002 compared to
$5,749,732 at November 30, 2001 and ratios of current assets to current
liabilities of 3.5:1 as of August 31, 2002 and 5.0:1 as of November 30, 2001.
The working capital increase of approximately $1,100,000 was primarily due to
the net income of approximately $300,000 and proceeds from the sale of common
stock through the exercise of outstanding options and warrants of approximately
$1,450,000. In September 2001 the Company entered into a $1,000,000 line of
credit agreement with First Union National Bank. Outstanding balances under the
loan bear interest at an annual rate equal to the lower of the bank's reference
rate minus 1% or LIBOR plus 1.5%. As of August 31, 2002 the entire $1,000,0000
was available under this credit line.

The Company anticipates that funds generated from operations, together with cash
and investments, and availability under our credit line will be sufficient to
fund our current level of growth. However, to the extent the expansion of the
Company's operations requires significant additional resources or certain forms
of financial guarantees to assure its performance under the terms of new health
plan contracts, the Company may be required to seek additional financing. No
assurance can be given that such financing would be available on terms that
would be acceptable to the Company.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to
the increase or decrease in the amount of interest income we can earn on our
available funds for investment. We ensure the safety and preservation of our
invested principal funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment
risk. We mitigate default risk by investing in short term high-credit quality
securities.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Within the 90 days preceding the filing of this report, an evaluation was
performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including the single officer presently serving as Company's CEO and
CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's
management, including such officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures were effective as of August 31, 2002. There have been no
significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to August 31, 2002.
Subsequent to August 31, 2002, the Company hired a chief financial officer, and
effective October 21, 2002, the responsibilities of CEO and CFO will no longer
be performed by a single executive.

Part II - Other Information

     Item 1.      Legal Proceedings

                  The Company previously disclosed that it brought a patent
                  infringement and unfair competition action against LifeMasters
                  Supported SelfCare ("LifeMasters"). In the action, which is
                  pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New
                  Jersey under the caption QMed, Inc v. LifeMasters Supported
                  SelfCare, Inc. (CV-01-3469), we are seeking damages and other
                  relief for patent infringement, violation of the Lanham Act
                  and common law unfair competition. In November 2001,
                  LifeMasters then brought arbitration proceedings against both
                  the Company and IHMC, seeking, in arbitration, compensatory
                  and punitive damages in an unspecified amount, together with
                  costs and fees. In the arbitration proceedings, LifeMasters
                  asserts claim of fraud, constructive fraud, declaratory
                  relief, breach of contract, and claims for determination as to
                  the validity, enforceability and infringement of our patent,
                  as well as for other relief. LifeMasters' motion in the U.S.
                  District Court action, for an order, transferring, staying or
                  dismissing parts of our case, in favor of their arbitrations
                  was denied and our cross motion to stay the arbitration was
                  granted. LifeMasters is appealing this order. The Company has
                  opposed LifeMasters and will vigorously defend against
                  LifeMasters' claims, and in pursuit of our own.

                  The Company is subject to claims and legal proceedings
                  covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary
                  course of business. Although management of the Company cannot
                  predict the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings with
                  certainty, it believes that their ultimate resolution,
                  including any amounts we may be required to pay will not have
                  a material effect on the financial statements.

     Item 2.      Changes in Securities

                  None.

     Item 3.      Defaults upon Senior Securities

                  None.

     Item 4.      Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

                  None.

     Item 5.      Other Information

                  On September 23, 2002, the company entered into an employment
                  agreement with Bill Schmitt. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr.
                  Schmitt will, beginning October 21, 2002, serve as the
                  Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
