ENVOY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
MARCH 31, 1998

A.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of ENVOY
Corporation (the "Company" or "ENVOY") have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
the 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 management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1998.

As more fully discussed in Note B, on February 27, 1998, the Company completed
business combinations with Professional Office Services, Inc. ("POS"), XpiData,
Inc. ("XpiData") and Automated Revenue Management, Inc. ("ARM") (collectively
referred to as the "ExpressBill Companies"). These transactions have been
accounted for as poolings of interests and the Company's historical consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and results of
operations of the ExpressBill Companies.

These financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information should be
read in conjunction with the restated audited financial statements and the
accompanying notes thereto in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K/A, filed
on May 5, 1998.

B.       POOLING WITH EXPRESSBILL COMPANIES

On February 27, 1998, the Company completed business combinations with the three
companies operating the ExpressBill patient statement processing and printing
services businesses, for an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of ENVOY Common Stock.
Shareholders of XpiData, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, received 1,365,000 shares
and shareholders of POS and its affiliated company, ARM, both of which are based
in Toledo, Ohio, received an aggregate of 2,135,000 shares. The ExpressBill
patient statement services include electronic data transmission and formatting,
statement printing and mailing services for health care providers and practice
management system vendors. These transactions have been accounted for as
poolings of interests. Accordingly, the Company's historical consolidated
financial statements have been restated to include the accounts and results of
operations of the ExpressBill Companies. A reconciliation of previously reported
revenues and earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1997 appears below:

C.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On May 6, 1998, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Synergy Healthcare, Inc. ("Synergy"), which provides health care
information products and services to participants in the health care market, for
$10,000,000 in cash. This acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, and, as a result, the Company will record the assets and
liabilities of Synergy at their estimated fair values with the excess of the
purchase price over these amounts being recorded as goodwill. Synergy's products
and services include health care data warehousing and analysis, performance
tracking, patient studies and disease management support.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations.

           Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the
        forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the
        assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no
        assurance that the forward-looking statements included herein will
        prove to be accurate. There are many factors that may cause actual
        results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking
        statements, including, among others, competitive pressures, changes in
        pricing policies, delays in product development, business conditions in
        the marketplace, general economic conditions and the various risk
        factors set forth in the Company's periodic reports filed with the
        Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"). In light of the 
        significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements 
        included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be 
        regarded as a representation by the Company that the objectives and 
        plans of the Company will be achieved. The following discussion and 
        analysis should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its 
        entirety by, the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, including
        the notes thereto.

RECENT DEVELOPMENT

     On May 6, 1998, the Company acquired all the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Synergy Healthcare, Inc. ("Synergy"), which provides health care
information products and services to participants in the health care market, for
$10,000,000 in cash. This acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting, and, as a result, the Company will record the assets and
liabilities of Synergy at their estimated fair values with the excess of the
purchase price over these amounts being recorded as goodwill. Synergy's products
and services include health care data warehousing and analysis, performance
tracking, patient studies and disease management support.

OVERVIEW
 
     The Company is a leading provider of EDI and transaction processing
services to participants in the health care market, including pharmacies,
physicians, hospitals, dentists, billing services, commercial insurance
companies, managed care organizations, state and federal government agencies and
others.
 
     On February 27, 1998, the Company completed business combinations with
Professional Office Services, Inc., XpiData, Inc. and Automated Revenue
Management, Inc. (collectively, the "ExpressBill Companies") pursuant to 
separate agreements and plans of merger for an aggregate of 3.5 million shares
of ENVOY Common Stock. These combinations have been accounted for as poolings of
interests, and the historical financial statements of the Company for all
periods have been restated to include the accounts and results of operations of
the ExpressBill Companies.
 
     The Company also made two acquisitions in 1997. Healthcare Data 
Interchange Corporation ("HDIC") was acquired in August 1997 and Diverse
Software Solutions, Inc. ("DSS") was acquired in March 1997 (collectively, the
"Acquired Businesses"). These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting and, as a result, the Company has recorded the assets and
liabilities of the Acquired Businesses at their estimated fair values, with the
excess of the purchase price over these amounts being recorded as goodwill. The
financial statements for all periods reflect the operations of the Acquired
Businesses for the periods after their respective dates of acquisition.
 
     The Company's revenues principally have been derived from EDI and
transaction processing services to the health care market which generally are
paid for by the health care providers or third-party payors. Revenues generally
are earned on a per transaction basis. In addition, total revenues include
non-transaction based revenues. These revenues includes maintenance, licensing
and support activities, as well as the sale of ancillary software and hardware
products and, in the case of the ExpressBill Companies, certain printing
services.
 
     The Company's revenues generally are comprised of the following types of 
transaction processing services: (i) pharmacy EDI, (ii) medical and other EDI
and (iii) patient statements. The table below shows the number of transactions
processed by the Company for the periods presented:
 


                                            THREE MONTHS ENDED
                                                 MARCH 31,

                                              (IN THOUSANDS)

Medical and other EDI....................    46,164     71,647

                                            =======    =======

 
The transactions reflected above include the transactions of the Acquired
Businesses from the date of acquisition, and include the transactions of the
ExpressBill Companies for all periods.
 
     While pharmacy EDI transactions currently represent a majority of the 
Company's total transactions, the fees associated with these transactions are
significantly less than those received for medical EDI and patient statement
transactions. As a result, pharmacy EDI revenue constituted less than 17% of the
Company's total revenues in the first quarter of 1998. For 1997, the pharmacy
EDI business grew at less than half the rate experienced in the Company's other
businesses based on the number of transactions processed. As a result of this
trend, the Company expects its pharmacy EDI business as presently conducted to
represent a decreasing portion of the Company's total revenues in the future. As
the mix of the Company's business changes, a decline in the growth rates
associated with the Company's medical and other EDI and patient statement
business could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and
operating results of the Company. There can be no assurance that the mix of the
Company's business or growth rates will continue at their current level.


                                       7
   8
 
     The Company continues to actively pursue the acquisition of health care
information businesses and other companies complementary to its business. The
Company's ability to successfully negotiate and close acquisitions will
materially impact the financial condition and operating results of the Company.
There can be no assurance that the Company will find attractive acquisition
candidates, be able to successfully finance and complete the acquisitions,
consolidate and integrate such businesses following the acquisition or
successfully operate them on a going forward basis.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AS COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
1997
 
     Revenues.  Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were $42.5 million
compared to $30.8 million for the same period last year, an increase of $11.7
million or 38.0%. The increase is attributable to internal growth of transaction
volume and additional revenues generated from the Acquired Businesses.
 
     Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues includes the cost of communications,
computer operations, operating supplies, product development and customer
support, as well as the cost of hardware sales and rebates to third parties for
transaction processing volume. Cost of revenues in the first quarter of 1998 was
$20.0 million compared to $15.2 million for the first quarter of 1997, an
increase of $4.8 million or 31.6%. The dollar increase is attributable to the
additional costs associated with the increased transaction volume and increases
in rebates paid to third parties in connection with medical EDI transactions.
The increase in rebates paid to third parties primarily results from an increase
in the mix of claims received from large third party vendors and claim
clearinghouses. If the mix of revenues continues to shift toward larger vendors
and clearinghouses, the Company expects rebates to represent an increasing
portion of its costs of revenues. As a percentage of revenues, cost of revenues
continued to improve to 47.1% in the first quarter of 1998 compared to 49.5% in
the first quarter of 1997. The improvement primarily is attributable to the
Company's ability to spread certain fixed costs of revenue over a larger base of
revenues.
 
     Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses include marketing, finance, accounting and
administrative costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 were $10.2 million compared to $7.8 million in the
same period in 1997, an increase of 30.8%. As a percentage of revenues, however,
selling, general and administrative expenses were 24.0% for the first quarter of
1998 compared to 25.2% for the first quarter of 1997. The improvement is
attributable to the Company's ability to spread its infrastructure costs over a
larger base of revenues. Transaction costs related to the business combinations
with the ExpressBill Companies totaled $780,000 in the first quarter of 1998 and
are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Excluding these
transaction costs, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage
of revenues for the first quarter of 1998 would have been 22.1%.



                                       8
   9
     Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense 
relates primarily to host computers, communications equipment and goodwill and
identifiable intangible assets related to acquisitions. Depreciation and
amortization expense for the first quarter of 1998 was $7.0 million compared to
$6.1 million for the comparable period in 1997. The increase is primarily the
result of the amortization of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets
related to the Acquired Businesses. At March 31, 1998, the Company had net
goodwill of $29.2 million remaining to be amortized over periods of three to 15
years following the acquisitions. In addition, the Company had net identifiable
intangible assets of $21.0 million remaining to be amortized over two to nine
year time periods, as applicable.
 
     Write-off of Acquired In-Process Technology.  The Company incurred a
one-time write-off of acquired in-process technology of $3.0 million in
connection with the March 1997 acquisition of DSS. Such amount was charged to
expense because this amount related to research and development that had not
reached technological feasibility and for which there was no alternative future
use.
 
     Net Interest Income (Expense).  The Company recorded net interest expense
of $292,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to net interest
income of $67,000 for the first quarter in 1997. Interest income decreased from
$453,000 in the first quarter of 1997 to $145,000 in the first quarter of 1998.
In August 1997, the Company acquired HDIC for approximately $36.4 million in
cash and the assumption of certain liabilities associated with unfavorable
contracts. Following this acquisition, the Company had less cash available for
investment, accounting for the reduction in interest income in the first quarter
of 1998. Interest expense increased from $386,000 in the first quarter of 1997
to $437,000 in the first quarter of 1998. Interest expense in the first quarter
of 1998 resulted primarily from interest expense that is required to be imputed
in order to account for the unfavorable long-term contracts assumed in the HDIC
acquisition. Interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 1997 resulted
primarily from the Company's $10.0 million 9% convertible subordinated notes
issued in June 1995 (the "Convertible Notes"). In a series of transactions
completed during 1996 and 1997, all of the Convertible Notes were converted into
shares of Common Stock and, therefore, were not outstanding during the first
quarter of 1998.
 
     Income Tax Provision.  The Company's income tax provision for the first
quarter of 1998 was $2.7 million compared to $739,000 in the comparable period
in 1997. Amortization of certain goodwill and identifiable intangible assets is
not deductible for income tax purposes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 
 
     The Company has incurred operating losses in recent years primarily as a
result of the write-off of acquired in-process technology related to the
Acquired Businesses, together with substantial non-cash depreciation and
amortization charges. During the three months ended March 31, 1998, however,
operations generated positive cash flows of $12.7 million. For the three months
ended March 31, 1997, operations used cash of $197,000.
 
     Investing activities consist primarily of payments for acquired businesses
and purchases of property and equipment. Investing activities used cash of $1.4
million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and cash of $8.3 million in the
three months ended March 31, 1997.
 
     Financing activities consist primarily of proceeds from the issuance of
capital stock, and proceeds from and payments on debt. Financing activities used
cash of $1.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and provided $1.3
million of cash in the three months ended March 31, 1997.

    On May 6, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of Synergy for $10.0
million in cash. Following this acquisition and as of May 6, 1998, the Company
had available cash and cash equivalents of approximately $7.0 million.
 
     The Company purchases additional computer hardware and software products
from time to time as required to support the Company's business. The Company
incurred capital expenditures of $1.3 million and $1.6 million for the three
month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, primarily for
computer hardware and software products. The Company currently estimates that
total capital expenditures for 1998 will be approximately $8 to $9 million.
 
     The Company is expensing as incurred all costs associated with system
changes related to its Year 2000 compliance project. The Company estimates that
the total cost of the Year 2000 expenses will be approximately $4.0 million, of
which approximately $2.5 million will be incurred during 1998. These costs are
being funded with available cash. 

     At May 6, 1998, the Company had no amounts outstanding under its $50
million revolving credit facility. Any future borrowings made under the credit
facility would bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate (as defined in the
credit facility) or an index tied to LIBOR. Any future borrowings under the
credit facility would be due and payable in full on June 30, 2000. The credit
facility contains financial covenants applicable to the Company and its
subsidiaries, including ratios of debt to capital, annualized EBITDA to
annualized interest expense and certain other financial covenants customarily
included in a credit facility of this type. The Company and its subsidiaries
also are subject to certain restrictions relating to payment of dividends,
acquisitions, incurrence of debt and other restrictive provisions. The credit
facility is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its
subsidiaries.

     In February 1998, the Company issued 3.5 million shares of Common Stock in
connection with the ExpressBill Companies' business combinations. Also in
February 1998, 930,233 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred
Stock were converted into an equal number of shares of Common Stock. As a result
of these transactions, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
increased by approximately 4.4 million shares, or 27%, to 21.1 million shares.

     From time to time, the Company has engaged and will continue to engage in
acquisition discussions with health care information businesses and other
companies complementary to its business. In the event the Company engages in
such acquisitions in the future, its currently available capital resources may
not be sufficient for such purposes and the Company may be required to incur
additional indebtedness or issue additional capital stock, which could result in
increased interest expense or dilution to existing investors.
 
     Based on current operations, anticipated capital needs to fund known
expenditures and current acquisitions, the Company believes its available cash,
cash flow from operations and the $50.0 million revolving credit facility will
provide the capital resources necessary to meet its liquidity and cash flow
requirements over the next 12 months, including the Company's current short-term
obligations. The Company believes that present funding sources will provide the
ability to meet long-term obligations as they mature. The Company's available
cash is invested in interest bearing securities with maturities of up to 30
days.

SEASONALITY

The Company's business is to some extent seasonal, with more revenues being
generated from September through March as a result of a greater number of
pharmaceutical claims arise in those months, while operating expenses tend to
remain relatively constant over the course of the year.
