                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 1999
and September 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 and Statement of Changes in Net Assets
in Liquidation 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, 1998. The interim
results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.

2. LIQUIDATION BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

As a result of the sale of its operations to HMO Blue on December 19, 1997, the
Company changed from a going-concern basis of accounting to a liquidation basis
of accounting effective December 31, 1997.

The Statements of Net Assets in Liquidation at December 31, 1998 and September
30, 1999 do not distinguish between current and long-term balances as would be
reflected if such statements had been prepared 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 organization affiliated with Blue Cross
Blue Shield of New Jersey, Inc. The Company received a cash payment of
$1,839,300 as consideration for that 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's liability
for claims payment after December 19, 1998, the first anniversary of the
Transaction, is limited to claims asserted by a claimant for services prior to
December 19, 1997 and previously acknowledged or otherwise known to the Company.
Any other claims liability will be assumed by the Purchaser effective December
19, 1998. The Company expects that it will surrender its Certificate of
Authority ("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 some time in 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
shareholders. 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

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. That 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 was based upon a per member per month fee, and was lower than
management fees previously paid by the Company. After the Transaction on
December 19, 1997, the Company's Management Agreement transitioned to a payment
arrangement based on hourly fees.

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 was a defendant in an action entitled Beharie v. Physician
Healthcare Plan of New Jersey, et.al., Docket No. L-2397-97, in the Superior
Court of Morris County, New Jersey. Dr. Beharie claimed he was wrongfully
terminated as an employee and subsequently defamed by PHPNJ (and other unrelated
corporate entities). The Plaintiff seeks to recover unspecified compensatory and
punitive damages together with interest and litigation costs from the
Defendants. On April 1, 1999, prior to the summary judgement hearing, Dr.
Beharie reached a settlement with the co-defendant. On August 11, 1999 a
Stipulation of Dismissal was received which dismissed this matter without costs
to the Company.

The Company is a defendant in an action entitled Benjamin Levine, M.D. v.
Physician Healthcare Plan of New Jersey, docket number DC-2841-98, 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 to dismiss the action. In November 1998, the
Plaintiff filed an appeal. On March 1, 1999, Dr. Levin filed a motion before the
trail judge, who previously dismissed the action, to be declared indigent and
entitled to free transcripts for the appeal which was denied. On March 31, 1999,
Dr. Levine made a request for the transcripts. A brief was to be filed by Dr.
Levine by July 8, 1999; however, Dr. Levine contacted the Appellate Division
Clerk on July 8, 1999 requesting an additional 45 days to complete his briefing
period which was granted. Dr. Levine filed a brief to the appeal on August 20,
1999. On August 31, 1999, the Company filed a brief in opposition to the appeal
filed by Dr. Levine. A letter brief, concluding the briefing process, was filed
by Dr. Levine on September 21, 1999. The court can request arguments within the
next 120 days. The Company believes that it has excellent defenses which it
intends to vigorously pursue.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATIONS

         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 1999 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 nine months ended September 30, 1999, 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 agencies.

         Although the Company has sold its operations to HMO Blue, the Company
remained 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's
liability for claims payment after December 19, 1998, the first anniversary of
the Transaction, is limited to claims asserted by a claimant for services prior
to December 19, 1997 and previously acknowledged or otherwise known to the
Company. Any other claims liability will be assumed by the Purchaser effective
December 19, 1998. 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 sometime in 1999.


Changes in Net Assets

         The decrease in net assets in liquidation for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 was $261,301 as compared to an decrease of $333,506 for the
nine month period ended September 30,1998. The $261,301 decrease in net assets
for the nine month period ended September 30,1999 represents investment income
offset by general and administrative expenses and professional services.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company reported $175,440
in investment income, as compared to $304,5859 earned during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company incurred general and
administrative costs of $198,458 as compared to $730,245 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998. The Company also incurred professional service cost of
$234,731 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $196,557
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. In 1999 and 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 and insurance. See Note 4 of the Notes to Financial
Statements for September, 1999.

         The Company has not expended any funds to date, and does not expect to
do so in the future, in connection with preparing its system to be Year 2000
compliant. The Company conducts no operations and as such believes that the Year
2000 issue will not create any material exposures.

Financial Condition

         As of September 30, 1999, the Company had approximately $5 million in
cash and cash equivalents and investments in U.S. Treasury obligations compared
to approximately $5.2 as of June 30,1999. The approximately $200,000 decrease is
attributable to administrative and general, professional service, and other
expenses as well as a reduction in claims payable, accounts payable, management
fees payable, and other liabilities. 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).

         As of September 30, 1999, the Company reported approximately $80,000 in
accounts payable related to various miscellaneous trade vendors. as of September
30, 1999, the Company reported approximately $162,000 management fees payable
related to the Management Agreement described in the Notes to the Financial
Statement, Item 4. As of September 30, 1999, the Company reported approximately
$76,000 in other liabilities which were composed of unclaimed checks.

         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 COA as a precondition for any such
liquidating distributions.

         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 and the returns on the Company's
investments.
