                                 March 31, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and March
31, 1999 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 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,
1999. 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, 1999 and March 31,
2000 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"), 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 Horizon, the Company remains
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 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 was assumed by the Purchaser effective December 19,
1998. In early 1999, the Company completed payment of claims incurred prior to
December 19, 1997. Subsequent to December 31, 1999, 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. 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 all of its liabilities,
which is expected to occur some time in 2000. After such surrender,

                                     PAGE 5
<PAGE>   6
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
final amount that would be available for distribution. Dissolution would require
additional shareholder 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
PHPNJ. The agreement can be terminated by either PHPNJ 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 period January 1 through March 31, 2000 the Company incurred
approximately $17,000 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.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 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 has scheduled a hearing for April
4, 2000. The Company believes that it has excellent defenses, which it intends
to pursue vigorously.

As of March 31, 2000, the Company's investments include restricted assets of
approximately $566,000 on deposit with the State of New Jersey for solvency
protection.


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.

                                     PAGE 6
<PAGE>   7
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 2000 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, 2000, 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 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 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. 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. Subsequent to December 31, 1999,
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. 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.
The Company has ongoing discussions with the New Jersey insurance regulators to
reach agreement on the most expeditious way to surrender the COA. It is
anticipated that the Company will reach agreement with the New Jersey insurance
regulators on this process sometime in 2000 and surrender the COA at such point.

Subsequent to December 31, 1999, legislation was passed in New Jersey, which may
provide for additional assessments to HMOs in the future. The State of New
Jersey has not assessed the Company for any amount to date. While New Jersey
legislation may provide for additional assessments upon HMOs in the future, the
Company is unable at this time to estimate the applicability or amount of any
such assessment on the company.

Changes in Net Assets

The increase in net assets in liquidation for the three months ended March 31,
2000 was $8,083 as compared to an decrease of $53,220 for the three month period
ended March 31,1999. The $8,083 increase in net assets for the three month
period ended March 31, 2000 represents investment income of approximately
$47,000 offset by general and administrative expenses and professional services
of approximately $39,000. As the Company continues to wind-down it affairs, the
administrative and professional fees associated with this wind-down continue to
decrease.

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Company incurred general and
administrative costs of $16,913 as compared to $92,720 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The Company also incurred professional service cost of
$21,645 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $106,598 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999. In 2000 and 1999, such costs and expenses
relate to the limited management activities of the Company including, but not

                                     PAGE 7
<PAGE>   8
limited to, costs and expenses incurred due to legal fees, actuarial and
accounting assistance and insurance. As the Company continues to wind-down it
affairs, the administrative and professional fees associated with this wind-down
continue to decrease. See Note 4 of the Notes to Financial Statements for March
31, 2000.

Financial Condition

As of March 31, 2000 the Company had approximately $4.6 million in
cash and cash equivalents and investments in U.S. Treasury obligations compared
to approximately $4.6 million as of December 31, 1999. 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 March 31, 2000 the company reported approximately $208,000 in accounts
payable related to various service providers. As of March 31, 2000 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. 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.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

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 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 has scheduled a hearing for April
4, 2000. The Company believes that it has excellent defenses, which it intends
to pursue vigorously.
