                                     PART 1

                                ITEM 1. BUSINESS

         CyCare Systems, Inc. (the "Company"),  founded in 1967 and incorporated
in 1969, is a leading provider of information systems,  related support services
and  electronic  data  interchange  (EDI)  services to the health care industry,
including  physicians,  medical group practices,  academic  practice centers and
integrated  delivery  networks.  The  Company's  services  and systems are based
primarily on open-systems  architecture  using software developed or acquired by
the Company to improve the  productivity  and  profitability  of its  customers.
Applications  include  appointment  scheduling,  patient and member registration
information,  business office management,  electronic claims processing, patient
care and patient accounting.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

          The  Company  estimates  that  there are over  570,000  physicians  in
private  practice  and  approximately  148,000  medical  practices in the United
States.  The economic  pressures and  informational  demands upon physicians and
medical  practices have increased  significantly  during the past decade. At the
same  time,  the  increased  power and  decreased  cost of  computers  have made
computers an effective  information  processing  solution for a broader range of
medical practices. Approximately 70% of physician practices now use computers or
computer   services   for  at  least  some  of  their   information   processing
requirements.

          The demand for more comprehensive and accurate information  processing
solutions is expected to  continue.  Health care cost  containment  efforts have
greatly increased the amount and complexity of required information. At the same
time, increased competition has resulted in a greater focus on demonstrating the
quality  of  care  delivered  to  patients.  Practice  management  systems  help
providers  reduce the costs and improve the  quality of  delivering  health care
services by  automating  patient  care and  administrative  processes,  ensuring
timely access to relevant information, streamlining the storage and retrieval of
information, and matching patient needs with available resources.

          The ongoing pressure to contain health care costs is also changing the
structure  of  health  care  providers  and  their  practice  management  system
requirements. Over the next several years, the majority of practicing physicians
are expected to be channeled  into ever  enlarging  networks,  group  practices,
HMOs,  and  integrated  delivery  systems  (IDS).  In  addition,  the  number of
third-party  payer  organizations has increased.  At the same time,  federal and
state  governments,  which are estimated to be responsible for approximately 30%
of physician  claims for patient  charges as a result of Medicare,  Medicaid and
other  programs,  have  imposed  pricing  and  reimbursement   regulations  that
significantly  complicate  billing  procedures  and increase the  information  a
medical practice must maintain with respect to its patients. Furthermore, health
care  payers are  increasingly  transferring  the  economic  risk of health care
delivery  to  providers  by  shifting  from  the   traditional   fee-for-service
reimbursement model to managed care reimbursement  models, such as payment based
on  capitation.  Under  capitation,  providers  are paid an annual fixed fee per
individual to deliver all health care services required by that individual. This
reimbursement  model  encourages  health care providers to modify their emphasis
from not only treating illness, but also to maintaining wellness.  The expansion
in the number of managed care and third-party  payer  organizations,  as well as
additional  governmental  regulation and the change in reimbursement models, has
greatly increased the complexity of pricing  practices,  billing  procedures and
reimbursement  policies impacting medical practices.  These trends are prompting
dramatic change in, and ultimately major  expenditures for,  physician  practice
management information systems.

          Other factors also are  increasing  the demand for more  comprehensive
and accurate information systems. The growing  administrative  burdens placed on
medical  practices have caused physicians to join together in group practices to
share  administrative costs and achieve economies of scale. The Company believes
the movement toward group practices has accelerated the trend toward  automation
as group  practices  require  the  greater  efficiency  and  productivity  of an
automated  system.  Not only has there been a movement  toward group  practices,
more recently  group  practices  have been coming  together to form larger group
practices.  In addition,  hospitals  and  insurance  companies are buying and/or
managing  physician  practices and networking  them into one common system.  The
general increase in the size and complexity of medical practices has resulted in
a  greater  need  for  analysis  of data and  production  of  timely  management
information  reports which allow  physicians  and other health care providers to
reach informed conclusions  regarding the quality and appropriateness of various
procedures and practices.

          Technological  advances have made more  comprehensive,  cost-effective
computer  solutions  available  to  physician  practices.  While  early  systems
concentrated  principally on patient billing and collection activities,  systems
are now  available  which record and store  clinical  information,  automate the
processing  of  insurance  and  third-party  payer  claims,  and  integrate  the
operations of physician  practices with larger health care organizations such as
hospitals, HMOs and management service organizations (MSO). The Company believes
that these various  factors will cause medical  practices to seek additional and
more  comprehensive  computer-based  solutions for their information  processing
needs.

STRATEGY

          The Company's goal is to be the leading provider of physician practice
management  systems and services.  The Company's strategy includes the following
key elements:

*    Provide  a Strong  and  Integrated  Product  Line.  In  1993,  the  Company
     upgraded  its  large-group  product,  the CS3000,  the first  client/server
     system in this  market  segment.  In 1994,  the  Company  introduced  a new
     small-group product,  the  Windows(TM)-based  SpectraMED(TM).  In 1995, the
     Company began shipping its comprehensive  medical records product,  CS-CIS,
     that has a complete data repository,  drug interaction  reporting,  imaging
     and outcomes reporting  capabilities.  The Company will continue to enhance
     these  products  and to develop new  applications  that address the rapidly
     changing requirements of today's health care environment.

*    Provide a  Full  Range of  Transaction  Processing  Services.  The  Company
     currently offers electronic  transactions  (EDI) such as claims processing,
     remittance  advices,  eligibility  checking and encounter data.  Additional
     capabilities  include  statement  processing  and  paper  claims  for those
     insurance carriers without electronic submission capabilities.

*    Provide  Systems Integration Services. The Company's strategy is to provide
     the  core  practice   management  system  solution  using  its  open-system
     architecture,  then use its integration expertise to build state-of-the-art
     communication  networks to tie in  ancillary  systems  such as  pharmacies,
     labs,  radiology   departments,   etc.  and  in  today's  IDS  environment,
     hospitals.

*    Expand  National Direct Sales Organization. The Company plans to expand its
     direct  sales  organization  to  market  to  a  larger  number  of  medical
     practices, MSOs, IDSs, and practice management consultants.

*    Strategic Acquisitions.  The Company  continually evaluates the acquisition
     of products,  services and businesses that are similar or  complementary to
     those offered by the Company.  Many of these potential  acquisitions  would
     allow the Company to expand its customer  base or provide new  technologies
     to  existing  and  future  customers.  Consistent  with this  strategy,  in
     December  1995,  the Company  acquired  Richard D. Jugel and Company.  This
     acquisition  provided  the  Company  with  the  ability  to  process  UB-92
     (hospital-based) claims electronically.


PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

         The  Company's  strategy is  implemented  through two primary  business
units: Group Practice and CyData, Inc.

          Group Practice

         The Company's Group Practice  business unit has served physician groups
and other ambulatory care organizations for over 28 years, and it maintains a 20
percent  market  share  in  group  practices  with 25 or more  physicians.  This
business  unit is uniquely  positioned  with a  comprehensive  range of software
applications and services that meet the information  processing  requirements of
smaller practices that are consolidating into larger groups, and for groups that
are affiliating with each other to form IDSs.  Business solutions offered are in
the areas of patient  information and registration,  business office management,
third-party  management,  electronic  claims  clearing,  prepaid  managed  care,
appointment scheduling and clinical information. In addition to systems, support
services  such  as  account  management,  systems  integration  and  networking,
education and training,  installation  and  documentation  are also offered.  In
1995,  this business unit had revenues of $47.7 million versus $40.5 million and
$36.5 million in 1994 and 1993,  respectively.  In 1995,  71% of these  revenues
were recurring.

         The Company developed its Group Practice  products,  with the exception
of SpectraMED,  using client/server based technology to eliminate the dependence
on proprietary  technology and enable the Company to add and refine applications
as  technology  changes.  The  hardware  platform  chosen  to run the  Company's
products  is  Hewlett  Packard's  HP 9000,  Series  800  business  server.  This
RISC-based  platform  provides  excellent  scalability  and has one of the  best
price/performance ratios in the industry.


         CyCare  System  3000(TM)  (CS3000) . The CS3000 was  introduced in late
1993 and is designed for group practices with 12 or more physicians.  The CS3000
is a UNIX-based  client/server  system that features  point and click  interface
technology  and optimum  flexibility  through  open-systems  architecture  which
allows  integrated  access to data  from a variety  of  sources  throughout  the
organization. The CS3000 is designed to improve physician/provider  productivity
and  personnel  utilization  of its  customers.  Modules  included  are  patient
information  and  registration,  managed care,  scheduling  and business  office
management. The patient information and registration module gives instant access
to  patient,  guarantor  and  insurance  coverage  information  that can be used
throughout the product.  The system's managed care module is designed to support
capitated  contracting from both the provider and the payer perspectives and the
scheduling  module is designed  to  maximize  productivity  by  automating  test
schedules, examinations, and procedures. Business office management features are
designed to maximize revenue and minimize staffing requirements.

         Clinical  Information  System  (CS-CIS).  In August  1995,  the Company
signed a relicensing  agreement  with Wang  Laboratories,  Inc. to market Wang's
fully functional  electronic medical records systems.  CS-CIS is a client/server
system that will run on any industry  standard 486 or Pentium PC. Its relational
database can share data with every database that is compliant with  open-systems
standards.  Because  CS-CIS was  implemented  for  open-systems,  it  interfaces
smoothly with multiple  UNIX  platforms  running  Novell  Netware.  CS-CIS fully
integrates  the  entire  practice  from the front  desk to the  examining  room,
regardless  of medical  specialty,  and stores  all  patient  data in a clinical
information repository. CS-CIS doesn't replace the CS3000, or any other practice
management system;  instead,  the systems work in tandem to form a sophisticated
information network for the ambulatory  environment.  CS-CIS is designed for the
way physicians work  intuitively.  During an encounter,  the physician can check
test  results or enter  information  with a pen on digital  forms that look like
familiar paper forms. Referrals,  prescriptions and other ancillary services can
be ordered  electronically in one easy step. The practice realizes the increased
efficiencies  as  lower  overhead  and  increased  profits  in  a  managed  care
environment.

         Enterprise-wide Scheduling (CS-ES). The Company is currently developing
an   enterprise-wide   scheduling   product   known   as   CS-ES.   CS-ES  is  a
state-of-the-art  achievement  based on a  sophisticated  SQL  database for easy
access  to  information.  On-line  help and  user-friendly  graphical  interface
employing Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) cut training time and enable the user to move
easily  throughout the system.  As physician  groups combine to form  integrated
delivery  networks,  the ability to schedule  patient  appointments for numerous
resources becomes  extremely  critical to both the cost and quality of care. The
CS-ES will allow the physician practice to schedule and coordinate  appointments
for multiple resources, specialties or departments. Additional features include:
daily  patient  lists,  resource  usage and no-show  reports,  patient  reminder
letters,  identification  of credit risks,  copays,  referring  physicians,  and
preauthorization.

         SpectraMED.   In  February  1994,   the  Company  began   shipments  of
SpectraMED,  the first  full  spectrum  practice  management  and  patient  care
solution designed to use the Microsoft(R)  Windows(TM)  operating  system.  This
state-of-the-art  software solution  addresses the practice  management needs of
individual  providers  and groups of up to 12  physicians.  This product  offers
features such as electronic  medical records,  live audio and video records that
can be stored in the SpectraMED patient file, patient names/alerts,  the ability
to maintain multiple fee schedules and simplified  ad-hoc reporting.  SpectraMED
is  designed  to take full  advantage  of all the EDI and  statement  processing
capabilities of the Company's CyData subsidiary.

          CyData, Inc.

         In 1992,  the Company formed a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  named CyData,
Inc., that provides  solutions to accelerate cash flow,  maximize  productivity,
reduce administrative costs and improve  profitability.  More than 25 percent of
the nation's  traditional  group practices have streamlined  operations  through
CyData's  electronic  data  interchange  (EDI) services,  including  on-line and
roster  eligibility,   claims,  encounters,   remittance  advice  and  statement
processing.  CyData's revenues,  including  intercompany  transaction processing
revenues,  were $19.0 million, $17.0 million and $13.6 million in 1995, 1994 and
1993,  respectively.  Intercompany  transaction  processing  revenues  were $5.7
million,  $5.5  million and $5.1 million in 1995,  1994 and 1993,  respectively.
These revenues were 100% recurring in 1995.  CyData has also initiated a special
marketing effort called the Participating  Payer Program.  Insurance payers that
join the  Participating  Payer  Program have agreed to absorb most if not all of
the physician's costs to process claims  electronically.  In return,  the payers
enjoy a cost savings  from  reduced  paper  claims  processing.  Currently,  the
clearinghouse formats, edits and processes over four million claims per month.

         Electronic  Data  Interchange.  CyData  provides a  complete  financial
processing  solution.  From the moment a patient walks in the door,  health care
providers can confirm if a patient is eligible for treatment  (on-line or roster
eligibility).  After providing  treatment,  the physician or hospital can submit
insurance  claims or  encounter  information  daily to  CyData  where it will be
edited, formatted to the payer's unique specifications and transmitted to one of
the over 500 insurance  carriers that accept electronic claims from CyData.  The
amount  the  insurer  will  pay  (remittance   advice)  can  be   electronically
transmitted  back to the provider for updating of accounts  receivable,  without
rekeying of data.  Physicians  and  hospitals  can then collect the final amount
owed by sending a statement to the patient using CyData's  statement  processing
capabilities, as described below.

         Statement  Processing.  CyData  also  provides a  statement  processing
service to medical groups to assist with patient  billing.  Groups  submit,  via
electronic  transmission or computer tape, billing  information to the Corporate
Information  Center in Dubuque,  Iowa.  CyData then prints and mails statements.
Processing five million statements each month, the Company has the facilities to
process  statements more  inexpensively  and efficiently  than the groups can do
themselves.

SOFTWARE LICENSING, DEVELOPMENT AND PROTECTION

         The  Company  does not sell its  software  to  customers.  The  Company
licenses its software to all distributed  and  in-house/turnkey  customers.  The
standard  license  agreement  provides  that, for a specified fee, a customer is
granted  the  non-transferable  right to use the  Company's  software  products.
Distributed  customers  are  charged  lower  license  fees than  non-distributed
customers.  The Company's  initial software licenses are associated with related
hardware and all sales are accounted for as systems sales.

         The Company has implemented an innovative  software pricing philosophy,
Living  Software,  in the Group Practice  business  unit.  The Company  licenses
software  to  customers  at a flat  rate,  including  all  services  and  future
upgrades.  Because of this  structure and because  "living  software"  minimizes
customer's initial cash flow, brand loyalty is enhanced. This pricing philosophy
shifts a portion of the initial software license fee into recurring revenue over
the life of the contract and allows  customers to protect  their  investment  in
software.  A portion  (usually  10%) of the  Company's  initial  license  fee is
payable upon execution of a license  agreement,  with the remainder payable upon
delivery and testing of the  software.  License  agreements  contain  provisions
designed to prevent  disclosure and unauthorized use of the Company's  products.
Clients  sign  license  agreements  for  continuing  software  use,  support and
enhancements, generally for a period of three to five years.

         Computer  software is subject to rapid  changes as a result of internal
and external forces,  particularly in the  rapidly-changing  health care market.
Internally,  changing  needs of the  customer  require  software to be flexible,
easily  modified or completely  revised to meet the customer's  needs.  External
factors,  such as technological changes in hardware and changing requirements of
outside parties (like insurance carriers) may necessitate software  enhancements
or modifications.  To meet these needs, the Company maintains a staff of systems
analysts and  programmers in Dubuque,  Iowa;  Omaha,  Nebraska;  and Scottsdale,
Arizona to develop  and enhance its  products.  The Company has also  contracted
programming  from outside sources from time to time. The Company has a number of
significant  projects  currently  in  development,  including:   enterprise-wide
scheduling, new EDI processes, and various upgrades to CS3000 and CS-CIS.

         The Company capitalizes certain software  development costs,  primarily
coding and testing,  which meet recoverability  tests. The capitalized costs are
then  amortized  over  future  periods or written  down to their net  realizable
value,  if  recoverability  tests  are  not  met.  Once a  software  package  is
developed,  the expenses  associated with its licensing generally are limited to
marketing, installation, support, product updates and administration.

         Net  research  and  development  expenses  were  $4.3  million  (7%  of
revenues) in 1995,  $4.1 million (8% of revenues) in 1994,  and $4.2 million (9%
of revenues)  in 1993.  The Company  anticipates  that these  expenditures  will
continue to be  approximately  8% of revenues.  

           Application  software  generally  cannot be  patented.  Instead,  the
Company  relies upon  contract,  trade secret and copyright  laws to protect its
proprietary  knowledge.  Customers sign agreements  restricting use to their own
operations and prohibiting disclosure to third parties.  Furthermore,  customers
generally   are  not  provided  with  the   Company's   software   source  code.
Company-prepared  manuals  are marked as  protected  under  copyright  laws.  In
addition,  employees  are notified of the  confidential  nature of the Company's
proprietary   information   and  trade   secrets   and  are   required  to  sign
non-disclosure agreements.  Regardless of these restrictions, it may be possible
for competitors to obtain the Company's trade secrets.  The Company will seek to
protect  its  rights  and  to  enforce  the  non-disclosure  provisions  of  its
agreements.  The names  "CyCare"  and "CyData"  and their  associated  logos are
trademarks of the Company.

EQUIPMENT SALES AND RENTALS AND SOURCES OF SUPPLY

         Through agreements with equipment manufacturers,  the Company sells and
leases various  minicomputers,  personal computers,  video display terminals and
peripheral  equipment  used in the  Company's  systems.  While  customers  could
purchase  or  lease  identical  equipment  from  other  sources,  they  have not
generally done so.

         Most components of CyCare's distributed processing and in-house/turnkey
systems,  such  as  IBM  mainframes  and  personal  computers,   Hewlett-Packard
minicomputers and personal computers,  Bull Worldwide  Information Systems, Inc.
minicomputers,  Link and Wyse video display  terminals and Cincom Systems,  Inc.
database  management  software,   are  purchased  from  single  sources.   While
alternative  sources of minicomputers,  video display terminals and software are
available  to the  Company,  additional  time  would be  required  to adapt  the
equipment to the Company's  requirements.  In addition,  the use of  alternative
sources  might  necessitate  redesign or recoding of the  Company's  application
software and could result in some  interruption of the delivery of systems.  The
Company believes its  relationships  with its suppliers are good.  Periodically,
the Company reevaluates the equipment and software purchased from suppliers. The
Company  has  entered  into a  value-added  agreement  with  Hewlett  Packard to
purchase equipment for resale to its customers.

INSTALLATION, SUPPORT AND TRAINING

         The Company  maintains  an  extensive  customer  service  organization.
Specialists  assist  customers in installation or conversion and provide ongoing
support.  Services performed by such specialists include planning system options
and  determining  software  required,  assisting file  conversion,  implementing
operating   procedures,   training,   planning  the  equipment  environment  and
coordinating  with other  departments.  Other  personnel  handle the  day-to-day
contact  with the  customer  concerning  such items as  requests  for  supplies,
special  processing  runs,   additional  services  and  problem   determination.
Technical support personnel provide continuing  enhancements and improvements to
the Company's  software and assist  customers in  communicating  with  equipment
manufacturers.  They also  furnish  custom  programming  to  customers,  usually
charged on a time and material basis.

         Installation  of  a  system  normally  commences  upon  execution  of a
contract,  with  installation  completed  in two to three  weeks for  SpectraMED
clients,  and two to six months  for  CS3000  clients.  The  equipment  supplier
installs  the  hardware  used by  distributed  and  in-house/turnkey  customers.
Installation  of software may occur in phases,  but initial  processing  usually
begins within two months.

         Initial training on the use of the system is generally  included in the
cost of the system.  In addition,  the  customer is provided  with a user manual
describing the features of the system and how to use it effectively. The Company
also provides  continuing  classes to update and train the customer personnel at
regional  training  facilities.  The Company  periodically  schedules  state and
national user meetings and  executive  forums,  which allow an exchange of ideas
and  techniques  among  customers  and provide the Company with ideas for future
enhancements and products.

CLIENTS, MARKETING AND BACKLOG

         The Company  markets its Group  Practice  products for large  physician
groups and CyData products and services through sales representatives located in
nine offices  throughout the country.  The Company currently has 24 direct sales
people,  plus 17 sales support  personnel with specific product  expertise and 5
telemarketing  individuals.  The Company's sales representatives are experienced
in the computer service field and knowledgeable about the Company's products and
services,  and are supported by a marketing and technical  staff.  The Company's
SpectraMED  product  is  marketed  through  a  nationwide  network  of over  150
independent  dealers that is supported by the Company's  marketing and technical
support staffs.

         The Company's  customers are principally  located throughout the United
States.  Revenues  generated in Canada  represent less than 1% of total revenues
and are considered insignificant. In 1995, the Company's Canadian subsidiary was
dissolved and financial  transaction  reporting and operational  activities were
assumed by the Company.

         The  Company's  services and systems are  directed at different  health
care  markets as  categorized  by its  strategic  business  units.  Services and
systems have been designed to meet the specific  requirements  for each of these
markets.

         The  Company's  backlog for equipment  sales and software  licenses was
$1,355,000 at March 22, 1996 and  $4,890,000 at March 17, 1995. All of the March
22, 1996 backlog is expected to be filled in the current fiscal year.

COMPETITION

         Competition  is  intense  in the  market  served  by the  Company.  The
industry is highly  fragmented and includes  numerous  competitors.  The Company
believes that the most important factors in a potential customer's evaluation of
its services  and systems are  reliability,  functional/technical  capabilities,
price,   future   flexibility,   data  security,   support   services  and  cost
effectiveness.   The  Company   continues  to  focus  on   increasing   customer
satisfaction  as a method of  improving  potential  customers'  perceptions  and
adding value to its products.  Improvement  has been seen based on the increased
number of customer reference sites and customer retention.  The Company believes
it is one of the largest providers of computer  information  processing services
and systems to physicians and medical group practices. Competitors include other
computer service companies,  equipment  manufacturers and consulting firms, some
of which are  substantially  larger and have greater  financial,  marketing  and
personnel resources than the Company.  Neither the Company nor any competitor is
believed by the Company to have a 10% or greater share of the current market.

COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND DATA SECURITY

         The  Company   supplies   its  services   through  a  nationwide   data
communications  network  consisting  of leased and WATS  telephone  lines.  Data
stations or video display  terminals  located on customer premises are connected
through one of these networks to the Company's computer facility.

         Computer accessibility is critical to the success of an on-line system,
such as the Company's shared system.  In 1995, the Company's  computer  facility
was operational for over 99% of the Company's customers' normal working hours.

         CyCare has a  diagnostic  system which  monitors  its leased  telephone
lines to detect sources of degradation in data received. The Company maintains a
remote diagnostic  system for problem solving and training  customer  personnel.
This system allows the Company's technical personnel to immediately  communicate
with a customer's computer rather than having to visit the customer's location.

         The Company maintains confidentiality and security due to the nature of
the  information  it  processes.  The Company  restricts  data access for shared
customers,  restricts  physical access to its computer facility and requires its
employees to sign agreements  acknowledging the  confidentiality  of information
processed.  Customer  information is duplicated  and  transferred to an off-site
location on a daily basis.

EMPLOYEES

         As of March 8, 1996, the Company  employed  approximately  486 persons,
including  46  sales   representatives,   144  employees  engaged  in  providing
installation  services  and  continuing  support  and 106 systems  analysts  and
programmers  involved in research and development and continuing  maintenance of
CyCare's systems and programs, the balance being administrative,  operations and
clerical employees.

         Systems analysts and programmers are in short supply and, consequently,
competition for such personnel is intense.  The Company believes that its future
success  will be  dependent  in part upon  recruiting  and  retaining  qualified
technical  personnel as well as other  employees.  CyCare considers its employee
relations to be good.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

         The health care industry is subject to changing political, economic and
regulatory influences that may affect the procurement practices and operation of
health care facilities.  During the past several years, the health care industry
has been  subject to an  increase in  governmental  regulation  of,  among other
things,  reimbursement  rates and certain capital  expenditures.  Many lawmakers
have  announced that they intend to propose  programs to reform the U.S.  health
care  system.  These  programs may contain  proposals  to increase  governmental
involvement in health care,  lower  reimbursement  rates or otherwise change the
operating  environment  for the Company's  customers.  Health care providers may
react to these  proposals  and the  uncertainty  surrounding  such  proposals by
curtailing or deferring investments,  including those for the Company's products
and  related  services.  Cost  containment  measures  instituted  by health care
providers as a result of regulatory  reform or otherwise could result in greater
selectivity in the allocation of capital funds.  Such selectivity  could have an
adverse  effect  on the  Company's  ability  to sell its  products  and  related
services.  The Company cannot  predict with any certainty  what impact,  if any,
such  proposals or health care  reforms  might have on its  business,  financial
condition and results of operations.


                               ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

         The Company's principal processing and development operation is located
in approximately  114,000 square feet of a nine-story commercial office building
in Dubuque,  Iowa,  purchased by the Company in  September  1986.  In 1994,  the
Company  refinanced the building and it is currently subject to a mortgage being
amortized  over five years with payments  ending in April 1999. The building has
approximately  215,000  leasable  square  feet.  Space not needed by CyCare will
continue to be leased to other tenants.  The Company leases approximately 33,000
square feet for its corporate  headquarters in Scottsdale,  Arizona. The Company
also leases office space in various United States cities for terms generally not
exceeding  five  years.  Offices  are  located  in  Atlanta,   Chicago,  Dallas,
Minneapolis,  Omaha,  San Diego and  Bedminster,  New Jersey and are equipped to
service all aspects of the  Company's  business.  The  Company  considers  these
facilities to be adequate for its present and anticipated needs.


                            ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         As of the date hereof,  there are no legal proceedings  pending against
or  involving  the Company that in the opinion of  management  could result in a
materially adverse change in the business or financial condition of the Company.


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