                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 2001
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial information as of March 31, 2001 and three month periods ended
March 31, 2001 and March 31, 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 March 31,
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 mater since early
2000. Beginning in December 1998, the Company initiated the process of seeking
approval from state regulators to surrender its Certificate of Authority


                                       5
<PAGE>   6


("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 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 three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 the Company incurred
approximately $8,400 and $16,900 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 March 31,2001 the Company's investments include restricted assets 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 three months ended March 31, 2001, management
activities have been limited to continuing the Company's payment of existing


                                       6
<PAGE>   7


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 three months ended March 31,
2001 was $73,111 as compared to a increase of $2,271 for the three month period
ended March 31, 2000. The $73,111 increase in net assets for the three month
period ended March 31, 2001 primarily represents total return on investments
income of approximately $106,000 offset by general and administrative expenses
of approximately $33,000. While professional fees associated with this wind-down
have decreased over the last few quarters it is expected these will increase
during the dissolution process.

For the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company incurred general and
administrative costs of approximately $33,000 as compared to approximately
$38,000 for the three months ended March 31, 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 professional fees associated with this
wind-down have decreased over the last few quarters it is expected these will
increase during the dissolution process. See Note 4 of the Notes to Financial
Statements for March 31, 2001 for a description of the Management Service
Agreements.

Financial Condition


                                       7
<PAGE>   8


As of March 31, 2001 the Company had approximately $4.5 million in
cash and cash equivalents and investments in U.S. Treasury obligations compared
to approximately, $4.6 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 March 31, 2001 the company reported approximately $130,000 in accounts
payable 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.

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.
