                  ADVANCE PARADIGM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and substantially in the form
prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") in
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the
Company's management, the December 31, 1996 and 1995 unaudited interim financial
statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of results for this interim period. In the
opinion of the Company's management, the disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in
conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
Company's Form S-1 filed with the Commission on October 8, 1996. The results of
operations for the three month and nine month periods ended December 31, 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year
or for any future period.


2.   STOCK TRANSACTIONS

     On October 7, 1996, the Company amended and restated its Certificate of
Incorporation to, among other things, increase the number of authorized shares
of its $.01 par value common stock ("Common Stock") to 25,000,000 and the number
of shares of its preferred stock to 5,000,000, 5,000 shares of which are
designated as Series B preferred stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"). On October
8, 1996, the Company effected a 250-for-one stock split of the Company's Common
Stock. Accordingly, all share and per share amounts have been adjusted to
reflect the stock split as though it had occurred at the beginning of the
initial period presented.

     On October 8, 1996 the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Offering") of its Common Stock. On November 7, 1996 the Underwriters exercised
the over-allotment option of the Offering. Including the over-allotment option,
the Company sold 2,397,067 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $9.00 per
share, prior to underwriting discount and other offering expenses. In connection
with the Offering, the Company's redeemable Series A preferred stock ("Series A
Preferred Stock") automatically converted into 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock.

     Immediately prior to the consummation of the Offering, Advance Health Care,
Inc. ("AHC") was merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"). Such Merger
was consummated as a means of simplifying the corporate structure of the Company
and was intended to qualify as a tax free reorganization. Prior to the Merger,
AHC held 3,125,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. In connection with the
Merger, the AHC incentive stock option plan was merged with the Company's
Incentive Stock Option Plan, and holders of options under the AHC incentive
stock option plan received options to purchase Common Stock under the Company's
Incentive Stock Option Plan. In the Merger, the Company canceled the shares held
by AHC and issued shares of Common Stock directly to the AHC stockholders (the
"AHC Stockholders")  based upon their fully-


                                   - 5 -
<PAGE>


diluted proportionate ownership interests in AHC after giving consideration 
to the new shares of AHC to be issued in repayment of debt as indicated 
below. After the Merger, there were 2,903,750 shares of Common Stock 
outstanding and 229,750 additional options outstanding at exercise prices 
ranging from $0.67 to $2.71 per share. Immediately prior to the Merger, AHC 
distributed the stock of certain subsidiaries of AHC, operating in businesses 
unrelated to the Company, to the AHC Stockholders. Prior to such spin-off, 
certain indebtedness owed by AHC to several of its stockholders (including 
certain indebtedness of AHC payable to an affiliate of a preferred 
stockholder of the Company which was assumed by an AHC stockholder) was 
exchanged for additional shares of AHC common stock. The spin-off and 
exchange of indebtedness did not impact the number of shares of the Company's 
Common Stock outstanding.

     The Common Stock outstanding as of February 13, 1997 resulted from the
following transactions:

  Shares outstanding after the Merger                              2,903,750
  Shares sold in the offering                                      2,397,067
  Shares issued from the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock    2,500,000
                                                                   ---------
                                                                   7,800,817
                                                                   ---------
                                                                   ---------


3.   PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Pro forma net income per share gives effect to (i) the conversion of the
Series A Preferred Stock to Common Stock, (ii) the issuance of 836,320 shares of
Common Stock in the Offering, the net proceeds of which were used to retire the
$7.0 million note payable to Whitney Subordinated Debt Fund, L.P. ("Whitney
Note"), (iii) a reduction of interest expense by the amount of interest on the
$7.0 million note payable and (iv) the impact to shares and options outstanding
of the merger of AHC into the Company (see Note 2). Pro forma net income per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common and common
equivalent shares outstanding during the period which include stock options and
warrants. As required by the Commission rules, all warrants, options, and shares
issued during the year immediately preceding the Offering are assumed to be
outstanding for purposes of calculating pro forma net income per share. The
primary and fully diluted per share amounts were the same since the effect of
potentially dilutive securities was anti-dilutive.


4.   INCOME TAXES

     In the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company recorded a
provision for income taxes of $538,000. As of March 31, 1996 the Company had net
operating loss carryforwards for both financial reporting and federal income tax
purposes. The Company has recorded a tax provision based upon management's
estimate of income, after utilization of net operating losses, for the year
ended March 31, 1997.

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1995

     REVENUES.  Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1996 increased
$36.7 million, or 110%, compared to revenues for the three months ended December
31, 1995. Approximately 82% of the increase in revenues was attributable to a
154% increase in the number of pharmacy claims processed during the period.
Approximately 12% of the increase was attributable to additional sales of the
Company's mail pharmacy services, resulting from a 25% increase in the number of
mail prescriptions dispensed. Approximately 6% of the increase in revenues
resulted from an increase in clinical services revenues derived from formulary
and disease management services.

     COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31,
1996 increased by $35.9 million, or 115%, compared to the same period in 1995.
This increase was attributable primarily to the expanded volume in the Company's
mail pharmacy and the additional costs associated with the Company's claims
processing growth. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased from
94% in the three months ended December 31, 1995 to 96% in the three months ended
December 31, 1996. This increase resulted primarily from the increase in the
Company's claims processing revenues generated by new customers utilizing the
Company's pharmacy network.  In cases in which the Company has an independent
obligation to pay its network pharmacy providers, the Company includes payments
from its plan sponsors for these benefits as revenues and payments to its
pharmacy providers as cost of revenues, thereby increasing revenues and cost of
revenues by the same amount.


                                  - 7 -

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expense for the three months ended December 31, 1996 increased by
$374,000, or 25%, compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was the
result of the Company's expansion of its administrative and support staff levels
and salaries and benefits in response to volume growth in all services. In spite
of the increase, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues decreased from 5% for the three months ended December 31, 1995 to 3% in
the same period in 1996 as the result of greater economies of scale and due to
the increase in revenues associated with the Company's claims processing
services. Additional revenues generated by clients utilizing the Company's
network pharmacy providers  do not result in an increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses.

     INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest income, net of interest
expense, for the three months ended December 31, 1996 increased $550,000
compared to the same period in 1995. The increase resulted from cash management
programs which utilized the Company's short-term excess cash to generate
interest income through investment in money market funds. In addition, the
Company's cash balance in the three months ended December 31, 1996 included the
$10.0 million proceeds from the June 1996 issuance of its Series B Preferred
Stock and the $19.3 million proceeds from the October 1996 Offering. A portion
of the proceeds were used to retire the Whitney Note and as a result interest
expense decreased $157,000.

     INCOME TAXES.  The Company had income tax loss carryforwards available to
offset income generated for the three months ended December 31, 1995, and as a
result, incurred no federal income tax expense. For the three months ended
December 31, 1996 the Company recorded income tax expense of $538,000 in
anticipation of fully utilizing its net operating loss carryforwards during its
fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.  


NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
1995

     REVENUES.  Revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 increased
$89.8 million, or 102%, compared to revenues for the nine months ended December
31, 1995. Approximately 76% of the increase in revenues was attributable to a
275% increase in the number of pharmacy claims processed during the period.
Approximately 16% of the increase was attributable to additional sales of the
Company's mail pharmacy services, resulting from a 35% increase in the number of
mail prescriptions dispensed. Approximately 8% of the increase in revenues
resulted from an increase in clinical services revenues derived from formulary
and disease management services.

     COST OF REVENUES.  Cost of revenues for the nine months ended December 31,
1996 increased by $87.4 million, or 106%, compared to the same period in 1995.
This increase was attributable primarily to the expanded volume in the Company's
mail pharmacy and the additional costs associated with the Company's claims
processing growth. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues increased from
94% in the nine months ended December 31, 1995 to 96% in the nine months ended
December 31, 1996. This increase resulted primarily from the increase in the
Company's claims processing revenues generated by new customers utilizing the
Company's pharmacy network.  In cases in which the Company has an independent
obligation to pay its network pharmacy providers, the Company includes payments
from its plan sponsors for these benefits as revenues and payments to its
pharmacy providers as cost of revenues, thereby increasing revenues and cost of
revenues by the same amount.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  Selling, general and
administrative expense for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 increased by
$946,000, or 21%, compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was the
result of the Company's expansion of its administrative and support staff levels
and salaries and benefits in response to volume growth in all services.  In
spite of the increase, selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of revenues decreased from 5% for the nine months ended December 31,
1995 to 3% in the same period in 1996 as the result of greater economies of
scale and due to the increase in revenues associated with the Company's claims
processing services. Additional revenues generated by clients utilizing the
Company's network pharmacy providers  do not result in an increase in selling,
general and administrative expenses.

     INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest income, net of interest
expense, for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 increased $970,000 compared
to the same period in 1995. The increase resulted from cash management programs
which utilized the Company's short-term excess cash to generate interest income
through investment in money market funds. In addition, the Company's cash
balance in the nine months ended December 31, 1996 included the $10.0 million
proceeds from the June 1996 issuance of its Series B Preferred Stock and the
$19.3 million proceeds from the October 1996 Offering. A portion of the proceeds
were used to retire the Whitney Note and as a result interest expense decreased
$157,000.

     INCOME TAXES.  The Company had income tax loss carryforwards available to
offset income generated for the nine months ended December 31, 1995, and as a
result, incurred no federal income tax expense. For the nine months ended
December 31, 1996 the Company recorded income tax expense of $849,000 in
anticipation of fully utilizing its net operating loss carryforwards during its
fiscal year ended March 31, 1997.  


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $23.7 million.
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities was $2.8 million for the
nine months ended December 31, 1996 resulting primarily from the Company's net
income of $2.1 million for the period.  During the nine months ended December
31, 1996 the Company used cash of $2.2 million for purchases of property, plant
and equipment associated with the growth and expansion of the Company's systems
and facilities. In addition, in June 1996, the Company received $10.0 million
from the sale of its Series B Preferred Stock and in October 1996, the Company
completed the Offering of its Common Stock. The Company received net proceeds of
approximately $19.3 million, after deducting underwriting discount and expenses.
The Company used $7.0 million to repay the Whitney Note, and the balance of the
funds were invested in money market funds and high-grade commercial paper.


IMPACT OF INFLATION

     Changes in prices charged by manufacturers and wholesalers for
pharmaceuticals dispensed by the Company affects its cost of revenues.
Historically, the Company has been able to pass on the effect of such price
changes to its customers under the terms of its agreements. As a result, changes
in pharmaceutical prices due to inflation have not adversely affected the
Company.
