PENNSYLVANIA PHYSICIAN HEALTHCARE PLAN, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the Three Month Periods Ended    
March 31, 1998 and 1997.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)      Description of Business

         Pennsylvania Physician Healthcare Plan, Inc. (the Company) was formed
         as a Pennsylvania for-profit corporation on February 15, 1995, under
         the direction of private practicing physicians to develop a physician
         owned and controlled managed care organization in Pennsylvania.

         The Company received a third party administrator (TPA) license in March
         1997 and a license to operate a preferred provider organization (PPO)
         in April 1997. The Company expects to receive a license to operate a
         health maintenance organization (HMO) in the third quarter of 1998.

         Through June 30, 1997 the Company was in the developmental stage and
         activities consisted primarily of raising capital through a public
         stock offering, hiring a management team, applying for the necessary
         licenses to operate as a managed care organization and developing a
         business plan. In the third quarter of 1997 the Company became
         operational and, accordingly, all developmental stage references in the
         accompanying financial statements were removed.

(2)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Unaudited Financial Statements
         The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as of
         December 31, 1997 and reflect, in the opinion of management, all
         adjustments necessary to fairly state the results of operations for
         such periods.

         The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31,
         1998 and 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results of
         operations expected for the full year.

         The notes to the financial statements are condensed and may not include
         all information that is required to be disclosed by generally accepted
         accounting principles.

         Principles of Consolidation
         The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements
         of Pennsylvania Physician Healthcare Plan, Inc. and its three
         wholly-owned subsidiaries, Physicians Care HMO, Inc., Physicians Care
         PPO, Inc., and Pennsylvania Physicians Care Service Corp. All
         significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
         in consolidation.

                                       6

         Cash and Cash Equivalents
         Cash and cash equivalents include cash and investments with maturities
         of less than three months when purchased. The cost of these investments
         approximates fair market value.

         Equipment
         Equipment, consisting principally of office equipment, computer
         equipment and software, is carried at cost. Depreciation is calculated
         on the accelerated cost recovery method for both financial reporting
         and income taxes purposes over the estimated useful lives of the
         assets.

         When changes in business circumstances warrant, the Company reviews the
         recoverability of long-lived assets to determine if there has been any
         permanent impairment. This assessment is based on estimated future
         undiscounted cash flows compared with the asset's carrying value. If
         impairment is indicated, a write-down to fair value (normally measured
         by discounting estimated cash flows) would be taken.

         Medical Claims Liability
         Medical claims liabilities consist of actual claims reported but not
         paid and estimates of health care services incurred but not reported.
         The estimated claims incurred but not reported are based on historical
         data, current enrollment, health service utilization statistics, and
         other related information. These accruals are continually monitored and
         reviewed, and, as settlements are made or accruals adjusted,
         differences are reflected in current operations. Changes in assumptions
         for medical costs caused by changes in actual experience could cause
         these estimates to change in the near term.

         Revenue Recognition
         Premium is recorded as revenue in the month in which members are
         entitled to service. Premiums collected in advance are recorded as
         deferred revenue. Interest income is recorded in the period it is
         earned.

         Reinsurance
         Premiums paid to reinsurers are reported as health care services
         expense and the related reinsurance recoveries, if any, are reported as
         deductions from health care services expense.

         Income Taxes
         Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
         Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
         consequences attributable to differences between the financial
         statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
         respective tax bases and to operating loss and tax credit
         carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
         enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
         which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
         settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
         in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
         enactment date.

         Earnings Per Common Share
         Earnings per common share have been computed based upon the weighted
         average number of common shares outstanding during each period.

         Effective January 1, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards Number 128 "Earnings Per Share" (FASB No. 128).
         FASB No. 128 requires the presentation of basic earnings per share
         (EPS), calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders
         by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
         period, and diluted EPS, calculated the same as basic EPS except that
         the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common
         shares that would have been issued if all dilutive potential common
         shares had been issued. FASB No. 128 requires the restatement of EPS
         for all periods presented. The adoption of FASB No. 128 had no effect
         on the Company's calculation of earnings per share in the accompanying
         financial statements.

         Use of Estimates
         Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to
         the reporting of assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated
         financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
         principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         New Accounting Standard
         In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
         FASB No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This statement, which
         establishes standards for reporting and disclosure of comprehensive
         income, is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15,
         1997. The Company currently has no additional items qualifying as other
         comprehensive income under FASB No. 130 and, therefore, its adoption
         has not had any impact on the Company's financial position or results
         of operations.

 (3)     Restrictions on Cash

         As specified in the prospectus for the public stock offering,
         approximately $9,691,000 of offering proceeds which are included in the
         Company's cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 1998 may only be
         used after an HMO license is obtained; otherwise, such funds, less
         claims of creditors, must be distributed to the shareholders, unless
         holders of a majority of the voting shares elect otherwise.

 (4)     Reinsurance

         The Company has a reinsurance agreement for portions of the risk it has
         underwritten through its products. PPO risk was reinsured to $2,000,000
         per member per lifetime in excess of maximum loss retention of $75,000
         per member per year. Coinsurance ranges from 50% to 90% depending on
         the type of service, age of the member, and service facility.

                                       8

         There were no reinsurance recoveries for the three month periods ended
         March 31, 1998 and 1997.

 (5)     Income Taxes

         The net deferred amounts reported by the Company at March 31, 1998 and
         December 31, 1997 are as follows:
                                                                                
                                                         1998           1997

                                                      --------------------------

         The Company has Federal net operating losses of approximately 
         $4,418,000 available to offset future income before taxes, which expire
         in the period from 2011 to 2013. Management recorded the valuation
         allowance to reduce the deferred income tax benefit to its estimated
         realizable value in light of the Company's commencement of operations
         and lack of operating history.
