                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1996


1. General


FOHP, Inc. ("FOHP" or the "Holding Company") is a New Jersey corporation which
was formed in May 1994. The Holding Company was formed to effect a
reorganization (the "Reorganization") of First Option Health Plan of New Jersey,
Inc. ("FOHP-NJ"), which was consummated on June 8, 1995. The Reorganization was
completed through an exchange of FOHP-NJ's outstanding common stock for shares
of the Holding Company's Common Stock-NJ. In connection with the Reorganization,
FOHP-NJ distributed , as a dividend, all of the outstanding common stock of
First Managed Care Option, Inc. ("FMCO") to the Holding Company. Pursuant to the
Reorganization, FOHP-NJ and FMCO became wholly-owned subsidiaries of FOHP. Prior
to the Reorganization, the Holding Company did not conduct any business nor did
it have any significant assets or liabilities. The primary purpose of the
Reorganization was to facilitate the formation of additional health maintenance
organizations in states other than New Jersey.

The Holding Company serves as the holding company for its wholly-owned
subsidiaries to which it provides management and consulting services. The
Holding Company's principal operating subsidiaries are FOHP-NJ and FMCO which
was acquired by FOHP-NJ, in November 1994. FOHP-NJ, a New Jersey corporation
formed in May 1993, received its Certificate of Authority ("COA") to operate as
a health maintenance organization ("HMO") in New Jersey in June 1994. FMCO
performs independent case management services for workers' compensation claims.
Other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Holding Company, each formed in 1995,
include First Option Health Plan of New York, Inc. ("FOHP-NY"), a New York
corporation, First Option Health Plan of Pennsylvania, Inc. ("FOHP-PA"), a
Pennsylvania corporation, First Option Health Plan of Maryland, Inc.
("FOHP-MD"), a Maryland corporation, First Option Health Plan of Delaware, Inc.
("FOHP-DE"), a Delaware corporation, and FOHP Agency, Inc. ("FOHP Agency"), a
New Jersey corporation. These newly formed subsidiaries are in the start-up
phase. Each of FOHP-NY and FOHP-PA has filed an application for a COA to operate
as an HMO in its state of incorporation.

The financial information for the three and six month periods ended September
30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 included herein are unaudited. Such information
includes all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring
nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair
presentation of the Holding Company's financial position, results of operations
and cash flows. Additionally, such information should be read in conjunction
with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations included in Part I - Item 2 hereof.


2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Holding Company has incurred a loss of $13,841,768 for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996 and has an accumulated deficit of $39,632,220 as of
September 30, 1996. In order for the Holding Company's principal operating
subsidiary FOHP-NJ to meet its 1996 statutory net worth requirements pursuant to
its COA granted by the New Jersey Departments of Banking and Insurance and
Health and Senior Services (the "Departments"), the Holding Company must
generate sufficient operating profits and/or obtain additional equity financing.
In an effort to increase capital in 1996, FOHP effected several operational
changes. The operational changes made by FOHP included (a) the implementation of
a program to generate increased operating profits by requiring certain acute
care shareholders which had not met their enrollment commitments to meet such
commitments if they want to remain shareholders of FOHP and providers in the
FOHP-NJ network, (b) the implementation of a hiring freeze and suspension of
bonus payments and the use of consultants in order to control FOHP's

                                       7
<PAGE>

administrative costs, and (c) the implementation of a modified provider
reimbursement schedule which became effective on April 1, 1996, for purposes of
reducing medical costs.

The Holding Company is also considering raising capital through private
placement and/or public sale of common stock. In that connection, in October
1996, the Holding Company and FOHP-NJ entered into a Securities Purchase
Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Health Systems International, Inc.
("HSI"), a Delaware corporation which is headquartered in Pueblo, Colorado and
Woodland Hills, California. HSI is a managed health care organization which
provides a wide range of health care services through HMOs located in
California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, Idaho,
Colorado and New Mexico. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, HSI will, among
other things, infuse $30 million into the Holding Company through the purchase
of convertible subordinated surplus debentures (the "Debentures"). The closing
of the purchase agreement is expected to occur by year end 1996 and is subject
to regulatory and shareholder approval.

The success of the Holding Company's efforts to increase capital in 1996 is
essential in order for FOHP-NJ to meet its statutory net worth requirement
through the year ending December 31, 1996. Accordingly, these matters raise
substantial doubt about the Holding Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Holding
Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The following are significant accounting policies of the Holding Company:

         Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Holding Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents. Includes approximately $1,087,000 that is
not currently available for operations. Such amount consists of refundable
moneys collected from third parties wanting to secure a place in the anticipated
New York provider network.

         Restricted Cash. FOHP-NJ is required to maintain, at a minimum,
$1,000,000 on deposit with the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance.

         Income Taxes. The Holding Company provides for income taxes based on
income recognized for financial statement purposes. The Holding Company
recognizes a deferred tax asset or liability for the expected future tax effects
attributable to the temporary differences between the tax and financial
statement basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are adjusted to reflect changes in tax rates or other provisions of applicable
federal and state tax laws in the period in which such changes are enacted.
Deferred tax assets are recognized unless it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recovered.

         Per Share Data. Per share data are based on the weighted average number
of shares of all classes of Common Stock outstanding during the comparative nine
month period ended September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 (2,100,173 at
September 30, 1996 and 1,571,786 at September 30, 1995).

totaled 100 million shares. The authorized Common Stock of the Holding Company
is comprised of the following classes of Common Stock, $.01 par value: Common
Stock-NJ, Common Stock-NY, Common Stock-PA, Common Stock-DE and Unclassified
Common Stock which may be classified by the Board of Directors as provided in
the Certificate of Incorporation of the Holding Company. During 1995, the
Holding Company issued 2,100,173 shares of Common Stock-NJ.

At December 31, 1994, the authorized common stock of FOHP-NJ, the predecessor to
the Holding Company, totaled 10 million shares. The authorized common stock of
FOHP-NJ was comprised of the following classes of common stock, $.01 par value:
Institutional Provider Common Stock; Practitioner Provider Common Stock and
Other Provider Common Stock. During 1994, FOHP-NJ issued 1,020,051 shares of
Institutional Provider Common Stock, 511,800 shares of Practitioner Provider
Common Stock, and 40,002 shares of Other Provider Common Stock.

The Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Holding Company include
significant restrictions on the issuance and transfer of shares of Common Stock.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Holding Company requires that only
health care providers who enter into and maintain a provider agreement with a
subsidiary of the Holding Company may purchase the Holding Company's Common
Stock. Acute care institutions which enter into a provider agreement with a
subsidiary of the Holding Company may purchase shares of Common Stock directly
or through an affiliate.

The Holding Company may, but is not obligated to, repurchase shares of Common
Stock from any shareholder whose provider agreement terminates for any reason or
upon the occurrence of certain events, as described in the Certificate of
Incorporation. The determination of the repurchase price of the shares is also
described in the Certificate of Incorporation.


4. Statutory Net Worth & Dividend Restrictions

FOHP-NJ, pursuant to its COA to operate as an HMO in New Jersey, is required to
maintain a minimum statutory net worth. The minimum statutory net worth
requirement at September 30, 1996 amounted to $11,951,000. In addition, under
the terms of its COA, if statutory net worth is less than 125% of the minimum
required ($14,938,000 at September 30, 1996), FOHP-NJ is required to submit a
plan of action to the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance to remedy
the shortfall. Without consideration to financial commitments and guarantees,
discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations included in Part I - Item 2 hereof, FOHP-NJ's statutory
net worth deficiency at September 30, 1996 approximated $9,252,000, which was
$24,190,000 below the 125% requirement. FOHP-NJ's plan of action to meet its COA
net worth requirements was presented in April, 1996 to the Departments for
approval. The plan of action is discussed in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Part I -
Item 2 hereof. On June 12, 1996, the Departments approved the plan of action
subject to certain reporting and other conditions. Such conditions are also
discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations. As part of FOHP-NJ's plan of action to address its
statutory net worth deficiency, FOHP-NJ and the Holding Company have entered
into a purchase agreement with HSI, pursuant to which HSI will, among other
things, infuse $30 million into the Holding Company through the purchase of the
Debentures.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION


OVERVIEW

The Holding Company, a New Jersey corporation, was formed in May 1994 to effect
the Reorganization which was consummated on June 8, 1995. Pursuant to the
Reorganization, FOHP-NJ and FMCO became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Holding
Company. Prior to the Reorganization, the Holding Company did not conduct any
business nor did it have any significant assets or liabilities. Except for
providing limited administrative assistance and consulting services to prepaid
health service plans affiliated with providers to the Holding Company's
subsidiaries, the Holding Company does not conduct, nor does management believe
that it will conduct, any business other than to provide management and
consulting services to its subsidiaries. All health care benefit products and
services are, and will be, provided by the Holding Company's subsidiaries. The
Holding Company does not intend to achieve profits by taking any action which
could have an adverse effect on the operations of a subsidiary formed to operate
as an HMO.

FOHP-NJ, a New Jersey corporation, was formed in May 1993 to operate as an HMO
in the State of New Jersey. FOHP-NJ received its COA in June 1994 to operate as
an HMO in the service area encompassing the entire State of New Jersey and
commenced operations on July 1, 1994. Pursuant to the Reorganization, FOHP-NJ
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company on June 8, 1995.
Currently, it is the Holding Company's principal subsidiary.

FOHP-NJ markets a comprehensive range of health care benefit plan products,
pursuant to contractual arrangements with physicians, hospitals and other health
care providers. As of September 1996, FOHP-NJ had entered into provider
agreements with fifty-one (51) acute care institutions ("NJ Acute Care
Institutions"), approximately ten thousand (10,000) practitioners ("NJ
Practitioners"), and approximately seventy-five (75) other health care providers
("NJ Other Providers"). The provider agreements have an initial term of one year
and are renewable annually. Such agreements with NJ Acute Care Institutions and
NJ Other Providers may be terminated by mutual consent or, after the initial one
year term, by either party upon ninety (90) days notice; agreements with NJ
Practitioners may be terminated by either party upon sixty (60) days notice. The
agreements also may be terminated for breaches specified therein.

FOHP-NJ's agreements with NJ Acute Care Institutions provide for, among other
things, a reimbursement schedule setting the amounts to be paid to the NJ Acute
Care Institutions by FOHP-NJ for services provided to members. Agreements with
participating NJ Acute Care Institutions prohibit the NJ Acute Care Institutions
from billing a member of an FOHP-NJ plan for any services paid for under such
plan except for any applicable copayment.

NJ Practitioners are paid pursuant to a fee schedule established by FOHP-NJ and
are prohibited from billing members of an FOHP-NJ plan except for copayments and
non-covered services, if any. Copayments, in amounts approved by FOHP-NJ, are
collected directly by the NJ Practitioner from the member.

Subscriber contracts are entered into with large employer groups (50 or more
employees) and small employer groups (less than 50 employees). Such contracts
are generally for a term of one year, but may be canceled by the employer group
upon thirty (30) days written notice. Under these contracts, FOHP-NJ has agreed
to provide the employer groups with health insurance coverage in return for a
monthly premium. FOHP-NJ utilizes a system of community rating by class,
adjusted (with respect to employer groups of 50 or more employees) by age, sex
and industry classification, in determining its rates for various employers in
the proposed service area. Premium revenue generated from subscriber contracts
is recorded as revenue in the month in which subscribers are entitled to
service. Premiums collected in advance are reported as unearned premium revenue.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Premium Revenue. For the three-month period ended September 30, 1996, medical
premium revenue totaled $66,982,000 or $36,517,000 more than the $30,465,000 of
medical premium revenue generated during the same period in 1995. Medical
premium revenue generated by the Holding Company during the three-month period
ended September 30, 1996 was substantially greater than the medical premium
revenue generated by the Holding Company during the same period in 1995 due to
the significant subscriber growth experienced since the end of the third quarter
of 1995. Approximately 49% of medical premium revenue generated in the third
quarter of 1996 and approximately 73% of medical premium revenue generated in
the third quarter of 1995 was attributable to NJ Acute Care Institutions which
are obligated to enroll their employees in FOHP-NJ plans. The Holding Company
believes that the percentage of medical premium revenue attributable to NJ Acute
Care Institutions will continue to decrease as FOHP-NJ's operations grow and
FOHP-NJ begins to fully benefit from current marketing efforts focused on
individuals and businesses who or which are not providers to FOHP-NJ.

Other Revenue. Other revenue, principally administrative fees, for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1996 was $1,946,000 compared to
$1,729,000 of other revenue for the same period of the prior year. This increase
is attributed to the significant subscriber growth in self-insured products.
Interest income for the third quarter of 1996 was $539,000, a $243,000 increase
from the $296,000 generated in the third quarter of 1995. The increase in
interest income was due to the larger cash reserves maintained by the Holding
Company in 1996.

Medical and Hospital Service Expenses. Total expenses attributable to medical
and hospital service for the three-month period ended September 30, 1996 were
$60,276,000 or $34,343,000 higher than expenses incurred for the same period in
1995. The increase in medical and hospital service expenses from 1995 to 1996
was primarily attributable to a significant increase in enrollees in FOHP-NJ
plans. The Holding Company believes that recent operational changes,
specifically the implementation of a modified provider reimbursement schedule,
will lower the percentage of medical expenses to premium dollars in future
quarters.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses totaled $12,031,000 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1996 compared to $7,903,000 incurred for the same period in 1995.
This increase was the result of the significant growth of FOHP-NJ and the
expansion activities of the Holding Company during 1996.

Other Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1996 increased by $63,000 from the $180,000 incurred
during the same period in 1995. This increase was a result of the significant
investment in capital equipment in the end of 1995 and the beginning of 1996.
Interest expense decreased in 1996 to $3,000 from the $24,000 incurred for the
same period in 1995. This decrease was primarily the result of the repayment of
the short-term financing for the acquisition of FMCO.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Premium Revenue. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996, medical
premium revenue totaled $171,853,000 or $104,168,000 more than the $67,685,000
of medical premium revenue generated during the same period in 1995. Medical
premium revenue generated by the Holding Company during the period ended
September 30, 1996 was substantially greater than the medical premium revenue
generated by FOHP-NJ during the same period in 1995 due to the significant
subscriber growth experienced since the end of the third quarter of 1995.
Approximately 59% of medical premium revenue generated in the first nine months
of 1996 and approximately 79% of medical premium revenue generated in the first
nine months of 1995 was attributable to NJ Acute Care Institutions which are
obligated to enroll their employees in FOHP-NJ plans. The Holding Company
believes that the percentage of medical premium revenue attributable to NJ Acute
Care Institutions will continue to decrease as FOHP-NJ's operations grow and
FOHP-NJ begins to fully benefit from current marketing efforts focused on
individuals and businesses who or which are not providers to FOHP-NJ.

Other Revenue. Other revenue, principally administrative fees, for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 was $5,828,000 compared to $5,564,000
of other revenue for the same period of the prior year. Interest income for the
first nine months of 1996 was $1,291,000, a $501,000 increase from the $790,000
generated in the first nine months of 1995. The increase in interest income was
due to the larger cash reserves maintained by the Holding Company in the first
nine months of 1996.

Medical and Hospital Service Expenses. Total expenses attributable to medical
and hospital service for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996 were
$153,662,000 or $95,758,000 higher than expenses incurred for the same period in
1995. The increase in medical and hospital service expenses from 1995 to 1996
was primarily attributable to an increase in enrollees in FOHP-NJ plans.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses totaled $38,486,000 during the first nine months of 1996
compared to $20,965,000 incurred for the same period in 1995. This increase was
the result of the significant growth of FOHP-NJ and the expansion activities of
the Holding Company during 1996.

Other Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1996 increased by $188,000 from the $471,000 incurred during
the same period in 1995. This increase was a result of the significant
investment in capital equipment in the end of 1995 and the beginning of 1996.
Interest expense decreased in the first nine months of 1996 to $6,000 from the
$101,000 incurred for the same period in 1995. This decrease was primarily the
result of the repayment of the short-term financing for the acquisition of FMCO.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION--(CONTINUED)


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Gross proceeds of approximately $12,400,000, received by FOHP-NJ from the
private offering and sale of 826,708 shares of common stock in 1993, were
sufficient to cover the expenses incurred by FOHP-NJ in connection with the
formation and development of its business. In order to fund its continuing
development activities, FOHP-NJ sold 744,445 shares of common stock in a public
offering which closed on October 31, 1994. Gross proceeds received by FOHP-NJ as
a result of the sale of stock in the public offering amounted to $11,166,675.
Further, in order to fund its continuing development of HMOs in New York,
Pennsylvania and several other states, the Holding Company sold 529,120 shares
of Common Stock-NJ to NJ Practitioners in an offering which ended on September
1, 1995. Gross proceeds received by the Holding Company as a result of the sale
of Common Stock-NJ in the offering to NJ Practitioners amounted to $7,937,000.

FOHP-NJ is required by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance,
("DOI") to maintain a minimum statutory net worth. In addition, if FOHP-NJ's
statutory net worth is, or is expected to be, less than 125% of the minimum
requirement, FOHP-NJ is required to submit to the DOI a plan of action to
address the deficiency or expected deficiency. During the first quarter of 1996,
FOHP learned that FOHP-NJ's statutory net worth as of December 31, 1995 may have
been below the 125% of the minimum requirement. FOHP-NJ addressed this potential
deficiency by submitting in April 1996 a plan of action to the DOI which
outlined the actions which had been taken and measures to be used by FOHP-NJ to
correct the potential deficiency. The plan of action also outlined the actions
to be taken by FOHP and FOHP-NJ to ensure that FOHP-NJ remained in compliance
with applicable statutory net worth requirements in 1996.

The plan of action submitted by FOHP-NJ provides that in the event that either
the DOI or the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services ("DOH")
requires that FOHP-NJ obtain additional capital to remain in compliance with the
statutory net worth and other capital requirements applicable to FOHP-NJ as an
HMO licensed in New Jersey, FOHP will contribute such capital to FOHP-NJ. To
assure that FOHP has sufficient capital to contribute to FOHP-NJ in the event
that FOHP-NJ is required to obtain additional capital to remain in compliance
with the statutory net worth and other capital requirements applicable to it,
certain directors and shareholders of FOHP either (I) arranged for the issuance
of letters of credit by various banks, against which FOHP may draw if required
to fund the payment of its obligations to FOHP-NJ so as to allow FOHP-NJ to
remain in compliance with the statutory net worth and other capital requirements
applicable to it, or (ii) guaranteed a portion of FOHP's capital obligation to
FOHP-NJ. In addition, pursuant to the plan of action, FOHP effected several
operational changes in order to increase capital in 1996. The operational
changes made by FOHP included (a) the implementation of a modified provider
reimbursement schedule which became effective on April 1, 1996, for purposes of
reducing medical costs, (b) the implementation of a hiring freeze and suspension
of bonus payments and the use of consultants in order to control FOHP's
administrative costs, and (c) the implementation of a program to generate
increased operating profits by requiring certain acute care shareholders which
had not met their enrollment commitments to meet such commitments if they want
to remain shareholders of FOHP and providers in the FOHP-NJ network.

On June 12, 1996, the DOI and DOH approved FOHP-NJ's plan of action subject to
certain reporting and other conditions. Such conditions include: (I) the
submission of a monthly report to the DOI which is to contain a comparison of
actual results for the month just ended to the budgeted results for such month;
(ii) the administrative expenses saving measures specified in the plan of action
including the hiring freeze and the suspension of bonuses and consultant use,
shall not be discontinued or modified unless the DOI has received written notice

of any such proposed discontinuance or modification and has not objected to the
proposed discontinuance or modification within five (5) days of receiving such
notice; (iii) the submission to the DOI of the minutes of any FOHP or FOHP-NJ
board meeting and the minutes of certain committee meetings within thirty (30)
days of the date of any such meeting; (iv) neither FOHP nor FOHP-NJ shall enter
into any joint venture, acquisition, merger, intercompany related party
transaction, or other material transaction (defined as one half of one percent
or greater of net admitted assets as of the prior year) without the prior
written approval of the DOI; (v) neither FOHP nor FOHP-NJ shall declare or apply
any dividends or bonuses or make any distributions other than in the course of
ordinary business without the prior written approval of the DOI; (vi) any
proceeds from the sale of FOHP stock to New Jersey providers must first be used
to pay the payable from FOHP to FOHP-NJ; (vii) a claim reserve lag study shall
be provided to the DOI on a quarterly basis in a format prescribed by the DOI;
(viii) prior written approval of the Commissioner of the DOI must be obtained
before either FOHP or FOHP-NJ makes any expenditure related to activities in
jurisdictions other than New Jersey; (ix) on or before October 1, 1996, at least
one third of the members of each committee of the Boards of Directors of FOHP
and FOHP-NJ shall be persons who are not affiliated with FOHP or FOHP-NJ or any
subsidiaries thereof, and who do not have any contractual relationship with FOHP
or FOHP-NJ or any subsidiaries thereof, including any health care provider in
the FOHP-NJ provider network; and (x) on or before, October 1, 1996, FOHP-NJ
shall establish an audit committee comprised of solely outside directors (the
Holding Company intends to comply with subsections (ix) and (x) as soon as the
sale of the Debentures contemplated by the purchase agreement is consummated).
The aforementioned conditions are to continue until the DOI and DOH issue a
written determination that (a) FOHP-NJ has had two (2) consecutive quarters with
a net gain from operations in each quarter of at least $2 million, (b) FOHP-NJ
surplus equals or exceeds 125% of its minimum net worth requirement for the same
two consecutive quarters, and (c) the payable from FOHP to FOHP-NJ has been paid
in full. If the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement are
consummated the Holding Company believes that a sufficient amount of capital
will be infused into FOHP-NJ so that FOHP-NJ will be in compliance with the
statutory net worth requirements applicable to it.
