the option term at annualized rates of 5% and 10% as required pursuant to Item
402 of S.E.C. Regulation S-K.

 (1) Generally, options granted in fiscal year 1996 are exercisable starting 12
     months after the grant date, with 25 percent of the shares covered thereby
     becoming exercisable at that time and with an additional 25 percent of the
     option shares becoming exercisable on each successive anniversary date,
     with full vesting occurring on the fourth anniversary date. The options
     were granted for a term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination in
     certain events related to termination of employment.

 (2) These amounts represent certain assumed rates of appreciation only. Actual
     gains, if any, on stock option exercises and common stock holdings are
     dependent on the future performance of the common stock and overall stock
     market conditions. There can be no assurance that the amounts reflected in
     this table will be achieved.

 (3)  Options shown for Mr. Jelinek, Mr. Sommers and Mr. Pierce were granted by
      the Predecessor Corporation prior to the Distribution, and were assumed by
      Medicus at the time of the Distribution.  Therefore, such options no
      longer represent options to purchase Company Common Stock, and have been
      omitted in calculating the Percentage of Total Options/SARs Granted to
      Employees in Fiscal Year.

 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

      All directors of the Company are paid an annual retainer of $15,000.  In
 addition, under the Company's 1995 Directors' Stock Option Plan, an option to
 purchase 20,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock is granted to each
 director of the Company who is not an officer, employee or greater than five
 percent stockholder of the Company at the time of such director's initial
 election to the Board, provided that the first director elected as Chairman
 after the approval of the 1995 Directors Stock Option Plan (Mr. McNerney)
 received an option to purchase 50,000 shares.  Each option is for a term of ten
 years, becomes exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares covered thereby on
 each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant and has an exercise
 price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant.

 EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

      At the time of the Mergers, the Company entered into employment agreements
 with each of Mr. Burns and Mr. Bergeson.  Mr. Burns' agreement provides that he
 will receive a salary of at least $175,000 annually, and that if 

                                       5

 
his employment is terminated by the Company (other than for cause), he will
receive severance payments at the rate of $175,000 annually (i) until March 1,
1999, in the event of termination prior to March 1, 1998; (ii) for a period of
one year if termination occurs between March 1, 1998 and March 1, 1999; (iii)
until March 1, 2000 if termination occurs between March 1, 1999 and September 1,
1999; and (iv) for a period of six months if termination occurs after September
1, 1999.

     Mr. Bergeson's agreement also provided that he would receive a salary of at
least $175,000 annually, and for severance payments at the rate of $175,000
annually for a period of one year if the Company terminated his employment
(other than for cause).

     Each of Mr. Burns' and Mr. Bergeson's employment agreements further provide
that in no event will severance pay exceed six months if at the time of
termination the Company has not had net income after taxes during the preceding
12 months of a least $1,000,000. Each agreement also provided for the grant of
options to purchase 150,000 shares of Common Stock (described elsewhere in this
Proxy Statement).

     On August 16, 1996, Mr. Bergeson resigned as an officer and director of the
Company and each of its subsidiaries. The Company has arrived at an agreement in
principle with Mr. Bergeson pursuant to which it will pay him $14,583.33 monthly
for four months, beginning in September 1996. These payments will be subject to
offsets representing amounts owed to the Company by Mr. Bergeson.

COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     Messrs. Brown and McNerney and Drs. Kaldenbaugh and Lingenfelter are
currently members of the Compensation Committee and Mr. Jelinek and Dr. Lavizzo-
Mourey are currently members of the Stock Option Committee. Prior to the
Mergers, Messrs. Brown, McNerney and Warden were members of the Compensation and
Stock Option Committee of the Predecessor Corporation. None of the Company's
directors have, and none of the Predecessor Corporation directors had,
interlocking or other relationships with other boards or the Company or the
Predecessor Corporation that require disclosure under Item 402(j) of S.E.C.
Regulation S-K, except as described below.

     For the fiscal year ended May 31, 1996, the Predecessor Corporation
incurred legal fees for general legal services of $670,239 to the law firm of
Bell, Boyd & Lloyd, of which William G. Brown, Secretary and a director of the
Company and the Predecessor Corporation, is a partner. In addition, the
directors of the Company other than Mr. Brown have approved a proposed
transaction pursuant to which Mr. Brown will purchase from the Company, for a
cash purchase price of $300,000, a convertible unsecured note in the principal
amount of $300,000, due, if extended in accordance with its terms, on September
30, 2001, bearing interest at a rate of 8% per annum. Such note will be
convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $3.85 per share. Mr.
Brown will also receive warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $4.45 per share. While this transaction is scheduled to close
on October 1, 1996, there can be no assurance that such closing will occur. The
Stock Option Committee has approved the grant to Mr. Brown of an additional
option to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to
the market price at the date of closing of such transaction. During the fiscal
year ended May 31, 1996, the Predecessor Corporation recorded revenues of
$448,149 for sales of products and services to Henry Ford Health System,
Detroit, Michigan, of which Gail L. Warden, a director of the Predecessor
Corporation, is the President and Chief Executive Officer. During the fiscal
year ended May 31, 1996, Drs. Kaldenbaugh and Lingenfelter served as Medical
Directors of AHC and Ventana, respectively. The Company paid Medical Director
fees of $15,000 and $1,800 to Drs. Kaldenbaugh and Lingenfelter, respectively,
following the Distribution on March 1, 1996.

  Relationship Between the Company and Medicus

     Messrs. Jelinek, Brown and McNerney and Dr. Lavizzo-Mourey are each
directors, and Mr. Jelinek is Chairman, of both the Company and Medicus. In
connection with the Distribution, the Company and Medicus entered into a
Distribution Agreement and a Services Agreement.

     Distribution Agreement. The Distribution Agreement provides for, among
other things, the principal corporate transactions which were required to effect
the Distribution, the division between the Company and Medicus of certain
liabilities, the treatment of certain employee compensation, benefit and labor
matters, and certain other agreements governing the relationship between the
Company and Medicus following the Distribution. Subject to certain exceptions,
the Distribution Agreement is designed to place with Medicus and its
subsidiaries, following the Distribution, financial responsibility for the
liabilities of Medicus' businesses and for other corporate liabilities of the
Predecessor Corporation, except those liabilities relating to businesses that
relate specifically to the business of the Company.

                                       6

 
     The Distribution Agreement provides that, except as otherwise set forth
therein, all costs and expenses arising prior to the Distribution in connection
with the Distribution were to be paid by the Company (except that Medicus was to
pay all expenses in connection with the filing of its Registration Statement on
Form 10 and the printing and mailing of the related Information Statement) and
that each of the Company and Medicus will indemnify the other in respect of
certain liabilities under the Exchange Act. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in the Distribution Agreement, Medicus generally will indemnify the
Company for all liabilities arising in connection with the assets and businesses
of Medicus or that are otherwise unrelated to the businesses of the Company.

      The Company and Medicus have also agreed to make records and personnel
 available to each other in connection with audits, claims, litigation and
 preparation of tax returns. The Distribution Agreement also provides for the
 allocation of benefits between the Company and Medicus under existing insurance
 policies.

      Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, Medicus generally assumed all
 liabilities of the Predecessor Corporation under employee pension and welfare
 benefit plans with respect to the employees and former employees (including
 retirees and disabled workers) of Medicus' businesses. In addition, Medicus has
 agreed that it and its subsidiaries will be solely responsible for salary and
 bonus deferrals by employees of Medicus and its subsidiaries who are not also
 employees of the Company following the Distribution.

      Services Agreement.  The Company and Medicus have also entered into a
 Services Agreement (the "Services Agreement"), pursuant to which Medicus (i)
 was to make available to the Company certain services, including tax,
 accounting, data processing, cash management, employee benefits, monitoring,
 operational, supervisory, insurance purchasing and claims administration
 consulting services, and (ii) provide certain financial services to the
 Company, including analysis and advice regarding potential financial
 transactions (including but not limited to proposed issuances of debt or equity
 securities, proposed merger or asset acquisition or sale transactions and
 dividend, stock split or similar transactions), assistance in budget and
 forecast preparation, relations with financial analysts, financial press, and
 investors, and crisis management and control. Such services were to commence on
 the date of the Distribution and continue for one year. The Company was to pay
 Medicus $700,000 for such services. In order to compensate Medicus for fixed
 costs incurred in making such services available, the Company was to be
 obligated to pay such fees whether or not it elects to utilize the services.
 The Company will also reimburse Medicus for its out-of-pocket expenses in
 connection therewith. The Services Agreement also provides that Medicus will
 not be liable for any losses or damages suffered in respect of services to be
 performed thereunder, other than by reason of its willful misconduct or gross
 negligence in performing such services. The Company believes it has received
 all of the benefits to be received by it under the Services Agreement and
 therefore had accrued the full $700,000 amount due thereunder as of May 31,
 1996.

  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions Concerning the MCS Companies

      MCSAZ.  In June 1995, John Lingenfelter gave MCSAZ a $100,000 unsecured
 line of credit, with interest accruing on the unpaid balance at 8% per annum.
 At May 31, 1996, no amounts were outstanding under this line of credit.

      In October 1995, MCSAZ borrowed $154,797 from a trust established by John
 Lingenfelter, M.D., $51,555 from a trust established by Henry Kaldenbaugh,
 M.D., and $43,464 from a trust established by Geralde Curtis, who was then a
 director and officer of the MCS Companies and currently owns approximately
 13.3% of the Company's Common Stock. MCSAZ then loaned from these funds
 $118,153 each to Dr. Kaldenbaugh and Ms. Curtis pursuant to promissory notes
 due December 31, 2000 providing for interest to accrue at 8% per annum. The
 notes are secured by a pledge of the Company Common Stock received by Dr.
 Kaldenbaugh and Ms. Curtis in the Mergers in exchange for their stock in MCSAZ.
 The stock pledge also secures the above described loans from the trusts to
 MCSAZ. The purpose of the loans was to provide Dr. Kaldenbaugh and Ms. Curtis
 funds to pay taxes incurred as a result of their owning shares in AHC, a
 Subchapter S corporation. As of May 31, 1996, $124,368 was outstanding under
 each of the loans to Dr. Kaldenbaugh and Ms. Curtis.

                                       7

 
     Ventana.  In October 1995, Dr. Kaldenbaugh borrowed $95,055 and Ms. Curtis
 borrowed $97,704 from Ventana pursuant to promissory notes due December 31,
 2000 providing for interest to accrue at 8% per annum. The notes are secured by
 a pledge of the Company Common Stock received by Dr. Kaldenbaugh and Ms. Curtis
 in the Mergers in exchange for their stock in Ventana. The purpose of the loans
 was to provide Dr. Kaldenbaugh and Ms. Curtis funds to pay taxes as described
 in the preceding paragraph. As of May 31, 1996, $99,894 and $102,678 was
 outstanding under the loans to Dr. Kaldenbaugh and Ms. Curtis, respectively.

     As of May 31, 1996, Dr. Kaldenbaugh owed Ventana $92,015 pursuant to a
 promissory note in the original principal amount of $94,000, with interest at
 the rate of 3%. During fiscal year 1996, the largest aggregate amount of this
 indebtedness was $92,015. The purpose of this loan was to provide Dr.
 Kaldenbaugh funds to settle litigation in 1992 concerning a covenant not to
 compete to which he was subject.

     During fiscal 1996, Dr. Lingenfelter received total payments of $351,930
 under risk sharing contracts between Dr. Lingenfelter and Ventana in Mohave
 County, Arizona. As of May 31, 1996, Dr. Lingenfelter is owed an additional
 $109,400 pursuant to such contracts.

     Arizona Health Concepts.  Dr. Lingenfelter received payments of $267,227
 during fiscal year 1996 pursuant to risk sharing contracts with AHC in Mohave
 County, Arizona.
