                         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 for 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 six months ended June 30, 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 June 30,
1996, $8,383,500 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) the 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


                                     Page 6

   7

them as of the effective date of the Offering in accordance with the vote of
the majority in interest 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 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


                                     Page 8

   9

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 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.
