                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


        The financial information herein is unaudited.  However, in the opinion
of management, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the periods being reported.  Additionally, it should be noted
that the accompanying financial statements do not purport to contain complete
disclosures in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

        The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal
year ending December 31, 1996.  The balance sheet as of December 31, 1995 was
extracted from the audited balance sheet appearing in the Company's Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

        These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
financial statements for the period March 21, 1995 (inception) to December 31,
1995 appearing in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.


(NOTE 1) - Organization and Business Operations:


        Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated in
Delaware on March 21, 1995 with the objective of acquiring or merging with an
operating business in the healthcare industry.  The Company's founding
directors and advisors purchased 425,000 common shares, $.001 par value, in
April 1995.  In January 1996, the stockholders contributed 100,000 shares back
to the Company.  In addition, in March 1996, the Company effected a 1 2/13 for
1 stock split.  The contribution and stock split have been reflected
retroactively in the accompanying financial statements.  The Company has
selected December 31 as its fiscal year-end.

        The Company consummated an initial public offering of its common stock
on March 13, 1996 (the "Offering") and raised net proceeds of approximately
$7,826,000.  On March 25, 1996 and April 10, 1996, the underwriters of the
Offering exercised their over-allotment option and the Company received net
proceeds of approximately $864,000 and $351,000, respectively.  The Company's
management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the
net proceeds of the Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of
the Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating a
business combination with an operating business engaged in the healthcare
industry (the "Business Combination").  Furthermore, there is no assurance that
the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.  As of
March 31, 1996, $8,067,600 or $4.86 per share held by the Public Stockholders
(as defined below) is being held in a trust account (the "Trust Fund"), and has
been invested in government securities until the earlier of (i) the
consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) liquidation of the Company.  The
remaining proceeds may be used to pay for business, legal and accounting due
diligence on prospective acquisitions, and continuing general and
administrative expenses in addition to other expenses.

        The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for the acquisition
of a target business, will submit such transaction for stockholder approval.
All of the Company's stockholders immediately prior to the Offering, including
all of the officers, directors and the advisors of the Company (the "Initial
Stockholders"), have agreed to vote the shares of common stock owned by them as
of the effective date of the Offering in accordance with the vote of the
majority in interest


                                    Page 5 


   6

of all other stockholders of the Company (the "Public Stockholders") with
respect to any Business Combination.  After consummation of the Company's first
Business Combination, this voting safeguard will no longer be applicable.

        With respect to the first Business Combination which is approved and
consummated, any Public Stockholder who votes against the Business Combination
may demand that the Company convert his shares into cash.  The per share
conversion price will equal the amount in the Trust Fund as of the record date
of determination of stockholders entitled to vote on the Business Combination
divided by the number of shares held by Public Stockholders.  The Company will
not consummate a Business Combination if 20% or more in interest of the Public
Stockholders exercise their conversion rights.  Accordingly, Public
Stockholders holding approximately 19.99% of the aggregate number of shares
owned by all Public Stockholders may have their shares converted to cash in the
event of a Business Combination.  Such Public Stockholders are entitled to
receive their per share interest in the Trust Fund, computed without regard to
shares held by Initial Stockholders.

        The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides for mandatory
liquidation of the Company, without stockholder approval, in the event that the
Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 18 months from the
date of the consummation of the Offering, or 24 months from the consummation of
the Offering if certain extension criteria have been satisfied.  In the event
of liquidation, it is likely that the per share value of the residual assets
remaining available for distribution (including Trust Fund assets) will be less
than the initial public offering price per share in the Offering.

(NOTE 2) - Net loss per share:

        Net loss per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Warrants to
purchase shares of common stock are anti-dilutive and are excluded from the
calculation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATION

        Healthcare Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") is a newly organized
"Special Purpose Acquisition Company," the objective of which is to acquire or
merge with an operating business in the Healthcare Industry (a "Business
Combination").  The Company was incorporated on March 21, 1995.  The Initial
Stockholders (as hereinafter defined) paid an aggregate of $25,000 for a total
of 375,000 shares of Common Stock and have agreed to contribute an additional
$25,000 to the Company if it liquidates prior to the consummation of a Business
Combination.

        In May 1995, the Company consummated a "Bridge Financing" in order to
pay certain organizational expenses, the costs of such Bridge Financing and
certain costs of the Company's initial public offering of its securities (the
"IPO").  Six Bridge Investors loaned an aggregate of $200,000 to the Company
and were issued promissory notes ("Bridge Notes") in that amount, bearing
interest at the rate of 10% per annum and 400,000 warrants to purchase shares
of Common Stock ("Bridge Warrants").  The Bridge Notes were paid in full with a
portion of the proceeds from the IPO which was consummated on March 13, 1996.
The Bridge Warrants are identical to the Warrants issued by the Company in the
IPO except that they are not redeemable by the Company until 90 days after
consummation of a Business Combination and the Bridge Investors have agreed not
to transfer the Bridge Warrants until after the consummation of a Business
Combination and not to exercise them until 90 days after such consummation.
The resale of the Bridge Warrants and the issuance of the underlying Common
Stock ("Bridge Warrant Shares") were registered under the Registration
Statement filed with respect to the IPO.

        On March 13, 1996, the Company consummated the IPO and the Company
received net proceeds of approximately $7,609,000, after the Company repaid the
Bridge Notes, including the interest thereon, and the payment of offering
expenses.  $7,290,000 of such proceeds were placed in a "Trust Fund" and
invested in United States Government Securities.  The Company's management has
broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds
of the IPO, although substantially all of the net proceeds will be used toward
consummating a Business Combination with an operating business in the
Healthcare Industry.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
successfully effect a Business Combination.  The amounts in the Trust Fund will
not be released until the earlier of the consummation of a Business Combination
or the liquidation of the Company.  The remaining net proceeds will be used to
pay for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective Target
Businesses, and to pay for the general and administrative expenses of the
Company, including legal and accounting fees and expenses in connection with
the Company's reporting obligations to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        On March 25, 1996, the underwriters of the IPO exercised a portion of
their over-allotment option pursuant to the IPO and the Company received net
proceeds of approximately $864,000.  From these proceeds, approximately
$777,600 has been placed in the Trust Fund and has been invested in government
securities.

        On April 10, 1996, the underwriters of the IPO exercised the remaining
portion of their over-allotment option and the Company received additional net
proceeds of approximately $351,000.  From these proceeds, approximately
$315,900 has been placed in the Trust Fund and invested in government
securities.

        In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business
Combination by September 13, 1997 (March 13, 1998 if certain extension criteria
are met), the Company will dissolve and will distribute to all the stockholders
other than the Initial Stockholders ("Public Stockholders") in proportion to
their respective equity interests in the Company, an aggregate sum equal to the
amount in the Trust Fund, inclusive of any interest thereon, plus any remaining
net assets of the Company.  All of the Company's stockholders immediately prior
to the IPO ("Initial Stockholders") have


                                    Page 9 


   8



waived their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution
with respect to the shares of Common Stock owned by them immediately prior to
the IPO.  A Public Stockholder is also entitled to receive funds from the Trust
Fund in the event that such stockholder seeks redemption of his shares in
connection with a Business Combination which the stockholder votes against and
which is actually consummated by the Company.

        Prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, substantially all
of the Company's working capital will be used to identify, evaluate and select
a suitable Target Business and, thereafter, to structure and negotiate a
Business Combination with such Target Business.  Such working capital needs are
expected to be satisfied from the net proceeds of the IPO not deposited in the
Trust Fund.

                                    PART II


Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

        On March 4, 1996, pursuant to a written action by a majority of the
stockholders, the stockholders agreed to effectuate a 1-2/13 for 1 stock split
so that the Initial Stockholders would own 20% of the total shares of common
stock outstanding immediately following the consummation of the IPO.
Shareholders owning 292,500 shares of common stock approved such action.

        On March 7, 1996, pursuant to a written action by a majority of the
stockholders, Messrs. Paul Freiman and Joel Kanter were reelected for a
two-year term as members of the Company's Board of Directors.  The terms of Dr.
John Abeles and Mr. Jay Haft continue until the next annual meeting of the
Company's stockholders.  Shareholders owning 262,500 shares approved the
election of Messrs. Freiman and Kanter for reelection.
