                    NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 2001
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial information as of September 30, 2001 and for the nine month and
three month periods ended September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 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 Statements of Changes in Net Assets in Liquidation in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Such information
should be read in conjunction with Management's Plan of Operations 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, 2000. 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 Horizon Healthcare of New Jersey,
Inc. ("Horizon") 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, 2000 and September
30, 2001 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 Horizon (the "Purchaser"), a 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 Horizon, the Company remained
responsible for the payment of claims incurred prior to the December 19, 1997
date of the closing of the Transaction with Horizon. The Company's liability for
claims payments 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 was assumed by the Purchaser effective December 19,
1998. In early 1999, the Company completed payment of claims incurred prior to
December 19, 1997. In early 2000, Horizon notified the Company that it believes
the Company is responsible for approximately $30,000 of claims because they were
incurred prior to December 19, 1997. The Company believes it has no
responsibility for these claims because they were reported to the Company after
December 19, 1998 and that they are Horizon's responsibility pursuant to the
agreements entered into in connection with the transaction. No further
communications have taken place with Horizon regarding this matter since early
2000. Beginning in December 1998, the Company initiated the process of seeking


                                     - 6 -
<PAGE>
approval from state regulators to surrender its Certificate of Authority
("COA"). In May 2000, after discussions between the Company and its regulators,
the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance (the "Department") required
among other things, a Custody Agreement in the amount of $350,000 be established
for the payment of future liabilities, if any, as a condition of surrender of
the COA. The Company's Board of Directors approved the Custody Agreement on
November 15, 2000, along with a Plan of Dissolution subject to the Department's
approval of the surrender of the COA. The Custody Agreement was established on
February 26, 2001 and on March 7, 2001 the New Jersey insurance regulators
approved the surrender of the COA. The Company intends to proceed with
dissolution. Following dissolution, any assets remaining after satisfaction of
the Company's liabilities will be distributed to the 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 estimate the amount, if any, that
would be available for distribution. Dissolution requires additional stockholder
action.

4. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

Pursuant to a Management Services Agreement dated December 19, 1997, and amended
on July 16, 1999, the Company has engaged Horizon as its management company to
provide a substantial portion of the Company's management and administrative
services. The Company pays Horizon an hourly fee of $75 for services rendered to
the Company. The agreement can be terminated by either the Company or Horizon,
with or without cause, provided that the terminating party has furnished not
less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such termination to the other
party. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 the Company
incurred approximately $20,000 and $25,000 respectively related to this
arrangement.

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, such
as assistance in making regulatory filings with state insurance regulators and
with the Security and Exchange Commission.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of September 30, 2001 the Company's cash balance includes restricted cash of
$350,000 on deposit with the State of New Jersey for Custody Agreement related
to the Company's surrender of its COA.

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 Horizon Healthcare of New Jersey, Inc.
("Horizon" or the "Purchaser") on December 19, 1997, following the December 9,
1997 shareholder meeting at which the sale was approved, and has continued
efforts 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, 2001,
management activities have been limited to continuing the Company's payment of

                                     - 7 -

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 Horizon, the Company remained
responsible for the payment of claims incurred prior to the December 19, 1997
date of the closing of the transaction with Horizon. The Company's liability for
claims payments 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. As of December 31, 1999, that liability had been paid out. Any claims
for services provided after December 19, 1997 or any claims for services
provided prior to December 19, 1997, but first discovered after December 19,
1998, are the responsibility of Horizon. In early 2000 Horizon notified the
Company that it believes the Company is responsible for approximately $30,000 of
claims because they were incurred prior to December 19, 1997. The Company
believes it has no responsibility for these claims because they were reported to
the Company after December 19, 1998 and that they are Horizon's responsibility.
During 1999 and 2000 the Company had ongoing discussions with the New Jersey
insurance regulators to reach agreement on the most expeditious way to surrender
the COA. The New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance required a Custody
Agreement in the amount of $350,000 be established for the payment of any future
liabilities as a condition of surrender of the COA. The Company established the
Custody Agreement on February 26, 2001 and on March 7, 2001 the New Jersey
insurance regulators approved the surrender of the COA. The Company intends to
proceed with dissolution. Following dissolution any assets remaining after
satisfaction of the Company's liabilities will be distributed to the
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 estimate the
amount, if any, that would be available for distribution. Dissolution requires
additional stockholder action.

Changes in Net Assets

The increase in net assets in liquidation for the nine months ended September
30, 2001 was $161,854 as compared to an increase of $99,805 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2000. The $161,854 increase in net assets for the
nine month period ended September 30, 2001 primarily represents total return on
investments of approximately $272,000 offset by general and administrative
expenses of approximately $111,000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company incurred general and
administrative costs of approximately $111,000 as compared to approximately
$110,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. In 2001 and 2000, such
costs and expenses related to the limited management activities of the Company
including, but not limited to, costs and expenses incurred related to
management, legal, and accounting. While costs associated with the Company's
wind-down have decreased, it is expected these costs will increase during the
dissolution process. See Note 4 of the Notes to the unaudited Financial
Statements for September 30, 2001 for a description of the Management Service
Agreements.

Financial Condition

As of September 30, 2001 the Company had approximately $4.7 million in cash and
cash equivalents and investments in U.S. Treasury obligations virtually
unchanged from approximately $4.7 million as of December 31, 2000.

Management believes sufficient liquid funds are available to satisfy any
remaining liabilities likely to occur in the near future (including, without
limitation, costs and expenses related to the anticipated administration of
liquidation such as management fees, legal fees, insurance, accounting fees,
printing expenses, and shareholder communication expenses).

As of September 30, 2001 the Company reported approximately $19,000 in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities related to various service providers.

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.

statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of the
