                             CRA MANAGED CARE, INC.
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and reflect all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring
nature) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement
of the results of the interim periods presented. These financial statements do
not include all disclosures associated with the annual financial statements and,
accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the attached Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation and the
financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 1996 included
in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 31, 1997.
 
(1) ACQUISITIONS
 
    On April 2, 1996, the Company purchased FOCUS HealthCare Management, Inc.
("FOCUS") from United HealthCare Corporation. FOCUS, based in Brentwood,
Tennessee, has built and maintains one of the nation's largest workers'
compensation preferred provider organization networks.
 
    On May 29, 1996, the Company acquired all the outstanding capital stock of
QMC3, Inc. ("QMC3"). QMC3, based in Denver, Colorado, is a leading managed care
services company serving the automobile liability insurance market which was
instrumental in helping to obtain the passage of legislation in Colorado and New
York enabling the mandatory direction of medical care for automobile accident
victims.
 
    On October 29, 1996, the Company purchased Prompt Associates, Inc.
("Prompt"). Prompt, based in Salt Lake City, Utah, is one of the leading
providers of hospital bill audit services to the group health payor community
for claims that fall outside of an indemnity carrier's, third-party
administrator's or health maintenance organization's network of hospital or
outpatient facilities.
 
(2) PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER SHARE UNDER PENDING ACCOUNTING STANDARD
 
    The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Accounting
Standards No. 128 ("SFAS 128"), Earnings Per Share which supersedes Accounting
Opinion Bulletin No. 15. SFAS 128 establishes new accounting standards for the
presentation of earnings per share whereby primary earnings per share is
replaced with "Basic Earnings Per Share" and fully diluted earnings per share is
now called "Diluted Earnings Per Share". Under SFAS 128, Basic Earnings Per
Share is computed by dividing reported earnings available to common stockholders
by weighted average shares outstanding and Diluted Earnings Per Share computes
the effect of all other outstanding common stock equivalents under the treasury
stock method. SFAS 128 is effective for quarterly and annual periods ending
after December 15, 1997. Had the Company adopted SFAS 128, Basic Earning Per
Share would have been $0.35 and $0.28 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively while Diluted Earnings Per Share would have $0.34 and $0.27
(the same amount as shown on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations)
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

(3) Subsequent Event--Proposed Merger With OccuSystems, Inc.

On April 21, 1997, the Company and OccuSystems, Inc. ("OccuSystems") and 
Concentra Managed Care, Inc. ("Concentra"), a corporation owned by the 
Company and OccuSystems, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization 
(the" Reorganization Agreement"). The Reorganization Agreement contemplates 
simultaneous mergers (the "Mergers") (i) of OccuSystems with and into 
Concentra, with Concentra as the surviving corporation of such merger and 
(ii) of the newly-formed subsidiary of Concentra into the Company, with the 
Company as the surviving corporation of such merger. The Mergers will be a 
tax-free stock for stock exchange to be accounted for as a pooling of 
interest. The outstanding shares of both companies will be exchanged for new 
shares in Concentra in the Mergers. OccuSystems' approximately 21.6 million 
outstanding shares will be exchanged for 57.3% of Concentra while the 
Company's approximately 9.0 million outstanding shares will be exchanged for 
42.7% of Concentra (assuming none of the Company's stockholders exercise 
appraisal rights).

In connection with the Reorganization Agreement, the Company and OccuSystems
granted each other an option to purchase up to 10% of each other's common stock,
excercisable upon termination of the Reorganization Agreement in certain
circumstances. The Reorganization Agreement provides that, in the event the
Mergers are terminated under any such circumstances, the Company or OccuSystems
may be required to pay the other a termination fee of $10 million.
 
    The Mergers remain subject to approval by the companies' stockholders and
special meetings for this purpose are expected to be schedule early in the third
quarter of 1997. The Mergers are also contingent on the applicable waiting
periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other
customary conditions.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
footnotes for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended December
31, 1996 contained in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 31, 1997.
 
REVENUES
 
Revenues increased 35.5% in the first quarter of 1997 to $54,489,000 from
$40,225,000 in the first quarter of 1996. Field case management revenues
increased 12.6% in the first quarter of 1997 to $32,389,000 from $28,765,000 in
the first quarter of 1996, while specialized cost containment revenues increased
92.8% in the first quarter of 1997 to $22,100,000 from $11,460,000 in the first
quarter of 1996. The field case management revenue growth is primarily
attributable growth in revenues from existing service locations and the opening
of nine offices subsequent to the first quarter of 1996. The specialized cost
containment revenue growth is primarily attributable to the acquisition of
FOCUS, QMC3 and Prompt. Excluding these acquisitions, cost containment revenues
would have increased approximately 32.4% over 1996. This revenue growth is
attributable to growth in retrospective bill review, telephonic case management
and claims review services in existing service locations and the addition of 22
service locations subsequent to the first quarter of 1996, excluding the service
locations associated with the FOCUS, QMC3 and Prompt acquisitions.
 
COST OF SERVICES
 
Cost of services increased 33.4% in the first quarter of 1997 to $44,571,000 
from $33,422,000 in the first quarter of 1996 due to an increase in revenues 
and the acquisitions of FOCUS, QMC3 and Prompt. Cost of services as a 
percentage of revenue decreased to 81.8% in the first quarter of 1997 
compared to 83.1% in the first quarter of 1996. This improvement in gross 
margin is primarily the result of productivity gains in field case management 
services coupled with a shift in the Company's revenue mix towards 
specialized cost containment services, including the services provided by 
FOCUS, QMC3 and Prompt, which historically have had higher gross profit 
margins than revenues derived from field case management services.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses increased 36.7% in the first quarter of
1997 to $4,251,000 from $3,109,000 in the first quarter of 1996, or 7.8% and
7.7% as a percentage of revenue for the first quarter of 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses in 1997
primarily was due to increased expenditures for marketing initiatives,
additional investments in the information technology group and general and
administrative expense associated with FOCUS and Prompt.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense decreased $54,000 in the first quarter of 1997 to $140,000
from $194,000 in the first quarter of 1996 due primarily to lower borrowings
under the Company's Credit Facility.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The Company's provision for income taxes in the first quarter of 1997 of
$2,432,000 resulted in an effective tax rate of 44% compared to 41.5% for the
first quarter of 1996. The Company expects to continue to provide for its taxes
at the higher effective tax rate for the remainder of the year due to the
non-deductibility of goodwill amortization associated with the FOCUS and Prompt
acquisitions.

                    Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                Financial Condition and Results of Operations


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash flows used for operations was $889,000 for the first three months of
1997 while cash flows generated from operations was $650,000 for the first three
months of 1996. During the first three months of 1997, working capital used
$5,209,000 of cash due primarily to an increase in accounts receivable of
$5,093,000 and a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes
of $255,000 offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and deposits of $139,000.
Accounts receivable increased due to continued revenue growth while accounts
payable decreased due the timing of payments, primarily the payment of income
taxes. The Company used $1,425,000 of cash to purchase property and equipment
during the first three months of 1997, the majority of which was spent on new
computer and software technology.

The Company believes that cash flow generated from operations supplemented
by short-term borrowings under the Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund
the Company's working capital, capital expenditure and debt service requirements
for at least the next twelve months.
