HEALTH SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements of Health Systems International, Inc. and its
wholly and majority owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company")
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 nine month period ended
September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further
information, reference is made to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, and to
certain "Cautionary Factors" previously filed with the Company's
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
2. FOUNDATION MERGER
On October 1, 1996, the Company and FH Acquisition Corp., a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with FHC, whereby
Merger Sub will merge (the "Merger") with and into FHC and FHC will
survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the
Merger agreement FHC stockholders will receive 1.3 shares of the
Company's Class A Common Stock for every share of FHC common stock
held. The shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock issued to FHC's
stockholders in the Merger will constitute approximately 61% of the
outstanding stock of the Company after the Merger, and the Company's
current stockholders will hold approximately 39% of the outstanding
stock of the Company after the Merger.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will amend its
Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to
Foundation Health Systems, Inc. and to increase the number of
authorized shares of the Company's Common Stock to 380,000,000 shares
-6-
7
consisting of 350,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and
30,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.
It is anticipated that the transaction will be completed by the
end of January 1997 and will be a tax-free combination and accounted
for as a pooling of interests, subject to shareholder and regulatory
approval as well as other customary conditions. The new company will
operate on a calendar year for financial reporting purposes.
3. CREDIT FACILITY
On April 26, 1996, the Company replaced its $400 million
revolving credit facility obtained on April 12, 1995 with a $700
million revolving credit facility. Under the new credit facility, the
Company may incur permitted subordinated indebtedness in a maximum
aggregate amount not to exceed $150 million which is available for
acquisition purposes and to provide short-term financing to repurchase
shares of stock. The Company may elect from various short-term
interest rates based upon a spread above the LIBOR rate; or the
greater of the bank's reference rate or the federal funds rate plus
1/2%. In addition, the Company may elect a "competitive bid auction"
in which participating banks are offered an opportunity to bid
alternative rates. The credit facility is for a term of five years
from the date of execution, with two one year extension options. At
September 30, 1996, $319 million had been borrowed against the new
$700 million credit facility.
4. CONTINGENCIES
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings,
most of which are routine to its business. In the opinion of
management, based in part on advice from litigation counsel to the
Company, the resolution of these matters should not have a material
adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of
the Company.
5. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY
During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Company
repurchased 303,879 shares of its Class A Common Stock from certain
current and former management employees of the Company and HN
Management Holdings, Inc., a predecessor to the Company, at a price of
$31.55 per share. The repurchased shares were held pursuant to the
Amended and Restated Health Net Associate Trust Agreement dated as of
May 1, 1994 (the "Associate Trust Agreement"), on behalf of certain
founding stockholders of the Company at the date of the conversion of
Health Net to for-profit status (the "Class A Stockholders"). The
repurchased shares, having an aggregate value of $9,587,000, were
immediately canceled and netted against Class A Common Stock,
Additional Paid-in-Capital and Retained Earnings.
On May 15, 1996, the Company completed a public offering in
which the Company sold 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock and
the California Wellness Foundation (the "Foundation") sold 6,386,510
shares of Class A Common Stock (constituting 6,386,510 shares of Class
B Common Stock which automatically converted into shares of Class A
Common Stock upon the sale) for a per share purchase price to the
public of $30.00 (the "Offering"). The net proceeds received by the
Company from the sale of the 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock
were approximately $92.4 million after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of the Offering
payable by the Company. The Company used its net proceeds
-7-
8
from the Offering to repurchase 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common
Stock held pursuant to the Associate Trust Agreement from certain
Class A Stockholders. The Company repurchased these shares of Class A
Common Stock from the Class A Stockholders at $30.00 per share less
transaction costs associated with the Offering, amounting to $1.08 per
share. All of these 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock
repurchased are currently held as treasury stock. The Company did not
receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Common
Stock in the Offering by the Foundation.
6. INVESTMENT IN MEDAPHIS CORPORATION
During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company
recorded unrealized depreciation of $7.3 million as a result of a
decline in the value of shares of Medaphis Common Stock that the
Company holds. Pursuant to FASB 115, the Company has classified such
investment as held for sale and, accordingly, has reflected such
depreciation as a reduction of Stockholders Equity. The Company has
filed a lawsuit against Medaphis Corporation in connection with this
decrease in the stock value of Medaphis.
7. ACQUISITIONS
Advantage Health
On May 14, 1996, the Company announced that it had reached a
definitive agreement with the St. Francis Health System to acquire
Advantage Health, Inc., a managed care company headquartered in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with approximately 60,000 members for
approximately $12.5 million in cash. The transaction is subject to
approvals from regulatory authorities, and other customary conditions
of closing. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth
quarter of 1996.
First Option Health Plan
On October 25, 1996, the Company announced it will make an
initial $30 million investment in FOHP, Inc., the parent company of
First Option Health Plan ("FOHP") of Red Bank, New Jersey. FOHP is a
managed health care company with approximately 168,000 health
maintenance organization ("HMO") members, 141,000 of which are
commercial and 27,000 of which are in Medicare and Medicaid programs.
In addition, FOHP has more than 70,000 Workers' Compensation members
and 60,000 preferred provider organization ("PPO") members.
At closing, the Company will purchase $30 million worth of FOHP
Convertible Subordinated Debentures convertible into 40 percent of
FOHP's outstanding equity at the Company's discretion. In addition,
FOHP will issue an option to the Company that could eventually lead to
the Company purchasing an additional 11 percent ownership position in
FOHP. The agreement with FOHP also contemplates that up to 20 percent
of FOHP
-8-
9
equity will either be directly purchased by the Company or repurchased
by FOHP with financing from the Company shortly following the closing.
All of these transactions, which value FOHP at $75 million, are
subject to FOHP shareholder approval, applicable regulatory approvals,
and other customary conditions of closing.
8. RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
On April 10, 1996, the Company announced its intention to take
a pre-tax one-time restructuring charge of approximately $34.2 million
or $.41 per share after tax, during the second quarter of 1996. The
charge was to cover non-recurring costs of a comprehensive
restructuring of the Company's Health Net subsidiary, computer software
and hardware write-offs, and the consolidation of certain operational
functions of other subsidiaries.
Due to the proposed merger with Foundation (See note 2 of the
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company has
postponed the restructuring charge to the fourth quarter of 1996 to
allow management to reevaluate the impact of the Foundation merger on
the restructuring plan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company is one of the largest HMOs in the United States,
providing health care and administrative services to more than 1.95
million full-risk HMO and administrative services only ("ASO") members
in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, New Jersey, New Mexico,
Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington. Through its operating
subsidiaries, the Company provides a wide range of managed health care
services through Network Model and Individual Practice Association
Model HMOs. The Company also provides various tailored managed health
care products, operates a PPO network and owns two health and life
insurance companies.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with
the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Total 1,955,130 1,823,132
========== ==========
The Company added 131,998 new full-risk and ASO members since
the third quarter of 1995. Of this increase, 80,664 members resulted
from the acquisition of Greater Atlantic Health Services, Inc., an HMO
operating in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Internal growth accounted
for the remaining increase in enrollment of 51,334.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, enrollment
increased by approximately 16,000 compared to December 31, 1995. The
increase represents the net effect of a 42,000 member reduction in
commercial enrollment, offset by increases of 11,000, 10,000 and 37,000
members in the Company's Medicare, Medicaid and ASO lines of business,
respectively. Enrollment increased by 38,000 members from June 30,
1996, resulting from a 10,000 member increase in commercial enrollment,
a 2,000 member increase in Medicare/Medicaid enrollment and a 26,000
member increase in ASO enrollment.
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Net income increased 4.2% to $25.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $24.3 million, after net
merger-related costs of $1.5 million, for the comparable period in
1995. The increase in net income reflected the Company's growth in
membership and premium revenue, and a decrease in administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenue, offset in part by an increase in
the Company's medical loss ratio (i.e., health care expenses as a
percentage of
-11-
12
premium revenue, or "MLR") to 83.5% in the three months ended
September 30, 1996 from 81.4% in the three months ended September 30,
1995.
Premium Revenue
Premium revenue, excluding ASO revenue, increased $90.4 million
or 13.0% in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of
1995. The increase in premium revenue was reflective of increased
membership and premium rate increases in the Company's Medicare line of
business, and its continued Northeast expansion. $52.4 million of this
revenue increase represented premium from the Company's Northeast
operations acquired in December of 1995. On a same store basis, premium
revenue (including post-acquisition premium growth) increased by $38.0
million or 5.5%, between the three month periods ended September 30,
1996 and September 30, 1995.

Total member months (cumulative number of member service
months during the period) increased by 6.3% to 5,432,000 during the
third quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995, and the
combined per member per month ("PMPM") premium revenue increased by
6.3% to $144.42.
-12-
13
On a same store basis, total member months increased by 1.5%
to 5,185,000 during the third quarter of 1996 compared to the same
period in 1995, and total PMPM premium revenue increased by 3.9% to
$141.22.
Commercial member months increased by 4.7% to 5,002,000 during
the third quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in the prior
year. For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, commercial premium
revenue PMPM increased by 1.2% to $119.36, compared to the same period
last year. The increase was primarily due to higher PMPM revenues in
the Northwest. Excluding the effects of Northeast acquisitions,
commercial member months for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
increased by 0.4% to 4,795,000 compared to the prior year period.
Commercial premium revenue PMPM, excluding the effects of Northeast
acquisitions, increased by 0.3% to $118.30, compared to the same
period last year. This flat PMPM growth was mainly due to pricing
pressures in the highly competitive California market.
Medicare member months increased by 29.7% to 430,000 during
the third quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in the prior
year. For the quarter ended September 30, 1996, Medicare premium
revenue PMPM increased by 10.8% to $435.90, compared to the same
period last year. Excluding the effects of Northeast acquisitions,
Medicare member months for the quarter ended September 30, 1996
increased by 17.5% to 390,000. Medicare premium revenue PMPM,
excluding the effects of Northeast acquisitions, increased by 7.6% to
$423.32 compared to the same period last year. Increases in Medicare
PMPM are principally a result of rate increases by the Federal Health
Care Financing Administration in the Company's California, Southwest
and Northwest markets.
Health Care Expenses
Health care expenses increased by 15.9% from $565.2 million in
the third quarter of 1995 to $655.1 million in the third quarter of
1996. On a PMPM basis, health care expenses for the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 rose by 9.0% to $120.59 PMPM, versus $110.61 PMPM
during the equivalent period in the prior year. During the same
period, the Company's overall MLR increased to 83.5% as compared to
81.4% during the prior year's three-month period. Approximately 50% of
the MLR increase was due to higher pharmacy costs, with the remainder
due to higher utilization of services throughout the California,
Southwest and Northwest markets. These factors, coupled with flat PMPM
revenue growth in the California commercial market, accounted for the
overall increase in the Company's MLR.
Commercial health care expenses on a PMPM basis in the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 increased by 3.9% to $97.39 compared to
$93.72 during the same period last year. The commercial MLR increased
to 81.6% from 79.4% for the comparable period in 1995. As previously
described, the increase reflects higher pharmacy costs, increased
utilization and flat PMPM revenue growth in the California market.
Medicare health care expenses on a PMPM basis in the quarter
ended September 30, 1996 increased by 10.3% to $390.37, compared to
$354.04 during the same period last year. The Medicare MLR decreased
to 89.6% from 90.0% for the third quarter of 1995. The reduction in
this
-13-
14
overall Medicare MLR is primarily a result of an 86.4% MLR for the
Company's Philadelphia Medicare business and a slight reduction in the
MLR for the Company's California market.
Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses, excluding the
effects of the Company's ASO business, decreased to 9.5% of premium
revenue in the third quarter of 1996 as compared to 10.9% during the
third quarter of the prior year. The decrease in marketing, general
and administrative expenses reflects the Company's ongoing efforts to
aggressively control its administrative costs.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expenses as a percentage of
premium revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1996
decreased slightly, compared to the same period in 1995. These
expenses were $12.9 million (1.6% of premium revenue) in the third
quarter of 1996 compared to $12.5 million (1.8% of premium revenue)
in the third quarter of 1995.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Net income increased 14.6% to $75.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, compared with $66.2 million, after
merger related costs net of tax of $8.9 million, for the comparable
period in 1995. The increase in net income reflected the Company's
growth in membership and premium rates and a decrease in
administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue, offset in part by
an increase in the Company's MLR from 80.9% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to 83.2% for the nine months ended September 30,
1996.
Premium Revenue
Premium revenue, excluding ASO revenue, increased $382.1
million or 19.5% in the first nine months of 1996 compared to the
first nine months of 1995. $181.8 million of this revenue increase
represented premium from the Company's Northeast operations acquired
in December of 1995. On a same store basis, premium revenue
(including post-acquisition premium growth) increased by $200.4
million or 10.2%, between the nine month periods ended September 30,
1996 and September 30, 1995.

Total member months increased by 12.0% to 16,246,000 during
the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995, and
the combined PMPM premium revenue increased by 6.6% to $144.35.
On a same store basis, total member months increased by 5.9%
to 15,358,000 during the first nine months of 1996 compared to the
same period in 1995, and overall PMPM premium revenue increased by 4.1%
to $140.86.
Commercial member months increased by 10.1% to 14,975,000
during the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same period in
the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
commercial premium revenue PMPM increased by 1.0% to $119.69, compared
to the same period the prior year. Excluding the effects of Northeast
acquisitions, commercial member months for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 increased by 4.4% to 14,207,000 compared to the
prior year period. Commercial premium revenue PMPM, excluding the
effects of Northeast acquisitions, decreased by .4% to $118.11,
compared to the same period last year. The decrease reflects
continuing pricing pressures in the highly competitive California
market.
Medicare member months increased by 42.3% to 1,271,000 during
the first nine months of 1996 compared to the same period in the prior
year. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, Medicare premium
revenue PMPM increased by 11.0% to $434.89, compared to the same
-15-
16
period last year. Excluding the effects of Northeast acquisitions,
Medicare member months for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
increased by 28.8% to 1,151,000. Medicare premium revenue PMPM,
excluding the effects of Northeast acquisitions, increased by 7.6% to
$421.79 compared to the same period last year. Increases in Medicare
PMPM are principally a result of rate increases by the Federal Health
Care Financing Administration in the Company's California and
Southwest markets.
Health Care Expenses
Health care expenses increased by 23.0% from $1.6 billion in
the first nine months of 1995 to $2.0 billion in the first nine months
of 1996. On a PMPM basis, health care expenses for the first nine
months ended September 30, 1996 rose by 9.8% to $120.15 PMPM, versus
$109.46 PMPM during the equivalent period in the prior year. During
the same period, the Company's MLR increased to 83.2% as compared to
80.9% during the prior year's nine month period. Approximately 41% of
the MLR increase was due to higher pharmacy costs, with the remainder
due to higher utilization of services throughout the California,
Southwest, Northwest and Northeast markets.
Commercial health care expenses on a PMPM basis for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996 increased by 3.6% to $97.17
compared to $93.76 during the same period in 1995. The commercial MLR
increased to 81.2% for the first nine months of 1996 from 79.1% for
the comparable period in 1995. The increase reflects higher pharmacy
and outpatient costs in certain of the Company's markets, higher
medical costs for the Company's Philadelphia Medicaid business and
flat PMPM premium growth in the California commercial market.
Medicare health care expenses on a PMPM basis in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 increased by 12.2% to $390.91,
compared to $348.54 during the same period last year. The Medicare
MLR increased to 89.9% from 88.9% for the first nine months of 1996.
The increase in this overall Medicare MLR is primarily a result of
unusually high Medicare fee for service claims volumes during the
first quarter of 1996.
Marketing, General and Administrative Expenses
Marketing, general and administrative expenses, excluding the
effects of the Company's ASO business, decreased to 10.0% of premium
revenue in the first nine months of 1996 as compared to 11.3% during
the first nine months of the prior year. The decrease in marketing,
general and administrative expenses reflects the Company's ongoing
efforts to aggressively control its administrative costs.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expenses remained relatively
static as a percentage of premium revenue in the first nine months of
1996 as compared to the first nine months of 1995. These expenses
were $39.6 million (1.7% of premium revenue) in the first nine months
of 1996 as compared to $35.2 million (1.8% of premium revenue) in the
first nine months of 1995.
-16-
17
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary source of cash is premium revenue. Its
primary uses of cash are claims and capitation payments. Estimates of
future cash flows include a component to account for the delay between
providing health care services and reporting their cost. The estimate
is based on actuarial projections of claims and other costs, claims
paid history, membership growth, inflation, seasonality, claims
inventory and reserves.
The Company's capital resources are managed according to
certain guidelines intended to ensure liquidity and maximize total
return by assuming prudent investment risks. The Company's liquidity
requirements consist of the need to service medical claims in a timely
manner and to satisfy shared risk and other obligations. Such
requirements are the principal factors in determining the appropriate
investment portfolio mix. The Company presently invests primarily in
a variety of fixed-income obligations according to established
investment guidelines.
During the first nine months of 1996, cash used by operating
activities was $61.1 million, compared with cash provided of $78.1
million in the comparable prior year period. This increase in cash
used by operating activities is due primarily to payments of claims
payable and shared risk settlement, and the timing of receipts of
unearned subscriber premiums. Increased efficiencies in the Company's
claims processing areas have allowed accelerated handling of claims, as
well as reductions in claims inventories.
Cash used by investing activities decreased from $201.5
million in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $41.0 million
in the nine months ended September 30, 1996, while cash provided by
financing activities also decreased from $52.3 million to $15.9
million during such periods. Decreases in these cash flow categories
resulted from limited acquisition activity during the first nine
months of 1996, as compared to the comparable prior year period.
The Company's current ratios at September 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995 were 1.69 to 1 and 1.30 to 1, respectively. The
increase in the Company's current ratio is primarily attributable to
decreased current liabilities resulting from increased payments of
claims, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as well as reductions
in unearned premiums as of September 30, 1996.
Outstanding notes payable (including $319 million outstanding
under the Company's credit facility) amounted to $365.0 million at
September 30, 1996, an increase of $8.6 million from December 31, 1995,
resulting primarily from additional borrowings relating to the stock
repurchases during the first quarter of 1996 (see note 5 of the Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Principal and
interest requirements of notes payable are scheduled at between $19
million and $25 million per year through 2006. The Company believes
that cash from operations and existing working capital are adequate to
fund existing obligations, introduce new products and services and
continue to develop health care-related businesses. The Company
regularly evaluates its cash requirements for current operations and
commitments, and for capital acquisitions and other strategic
transactions. The Company may elect to raise additional funds for
these purposes, either through the issuance of additional debt or
equity, the sale of investment securities or otherwise, as appropriate.
-17-
18
On April 26, 1996, the Company obtained an unsecured $700
million revolving line of credit from a lending syndicate led by Bank
of America and co-agented by Industrial Bank of Japan and Citibank.
The new credit facility replaced the Company's previous $400 million
credit facility. Under the credit facility the Company may incur
permitted subordinated indebtedness in a maximum aggregate amount not
to exceed $150 million which is available for acquisition and other
purposes, and to provide short-term financing to repurchase shares of
stock. As of September 30, 1996, $319 million was outstanding under
the Company's new credit facility.
The Company's subsidiaries must comply with certain minimum
capital requirements under applicable state laws and regulations. The
long-term portion of principal and interest payments under the
outstanding note payable to the Foundation is subordinated to Health
Net meeting its tangible net equity ("TNE") requirements under
applicable California laws and regulations. As of September 30, 1996,
each of the Company's subsidiaries was in compliance with its minimum
capital requirements.
IMPACT OF INFLATION AND OTHER ELEMENTS
The managed health care industry is labor intensive and its
profit margin is low. Hence, it is especially sensitive to inflation.
Increases in medical expenses without corresponding increases in
premiums could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Various federal and state legislative initiatives regarding
the health care industry have been proposed during recent legislative
sessions, and health care reform and similar issues continue to be in
the forefront of social and political discussion. If health care
reform or similar legislation is enacted, such legislation could
impact the Company. Management cannot at this time predict whether
any such initiative will be enacted and, if enacted, the impact on the
financial condition or operations of the Company.
Reference is also made to the disclosures contained under the
heading "Cautionary Factors" included in the Company's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, which could
cause the Company's actual results to differ from those projected in
forward looking statements of the Company made by or on behalf of the
Company. In addition, certain of these factors may have affected the
Company's past results and may affect future results.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Restricted Stock Dispute
Following the conversion of Health Net to a for-profit subsidiary of
the Company (the "Conversion"), a restricted stock plan (the "Restricted Stock
Plan") was adopted and restricted shares were issued to certain management
employees of Health Net. In February 1993, the California Department of
Corporations (the "DOC") informed Health Net that it believed the issuance of
such restricted shares ("Restricted Shares") of the Company to persons who were
stockholders of the Company as of the date of the Conversion (the "Restricted
Share Recipients") violated certain provisions and terms imposed by the DOC in
connection with the Conversion. In March 1993, the DOC insisted that such
restricted shares be rescinded and stated that the DOC would take steps
necessary to revoke the approval of the Conversion if the issuance of the
Restricted Shares was not rescinded (the "Conditional Revocation Order"). In
April 1993 the Restricted Share Recipients agreed to rescind all of the
Restricted Shares issued to them, under express protest to the DOC.
Subsequently, a formal protest was filed with the DOC which requested a hearing
regarding the correctness of the decision.
On September 14, 1994, Health Net, the Company and certain of the
Restricted Stock Recipients, on behalf of all the Restricted Stock Recipients
(the "Petitioners"), filed a Petition for Writ of Administrative Mandamus in
the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles (Case No. BS030426) (the "Writ
Proceeding"). The Writ Proceeding seeks to overturn the Conditional Revocation
Order and to require the Commissioner of the DOC to follow procedures set forth
in the Administrative Procedures Act which would result in an administrative
hearing regarding the correctness of the Conditional Revocation Order or, in
the alternative, to treat the Conditional Revocation Order as a final agency
action and to have the Court order the Commissioner of the DOC to rescind the
Conditional Revocation Order.
On May 25, 1995, the Petitioners filed an amended petition expanding
the original claims and adding a new cause of action for a declaratory judgment
that would revoke the rescission of the issuance of the Restricted Shares. The
DOC and The California Wellness Foundation (the "Foundation") filed new
demurrers to the amended petition on July 3, 1995. At a hearing on July 28,
1995, the Court sustained the demurrers without leave to amend. On August 7,
1995, the Petitioners filed objections to the Court's Statement of Decision.
On August 15, 1995, the Court overruled the objections of the Petitioners to
the Court's Statement of Decision. On September 8, 1995, the Court entered an
Order of Dismissal, and the Amended Petition for Writ of Mandate and Complaint
for Declaratory Relief of the Petitioners was dismissed. On September 19,
1995, the DOC served notice of the entry of the Order of Dismissal. On October
18, 1995, the Petitioners filed a Notice of Appeal. The opening brief was
filed on March 15, 1996, and the Respondents' briefs were filed on or around
June 13, 1996. The reply briefs to the Respondents' briefs were timely filed
on August 19, 1996 and the Court has set oral arguments on the appeal for
November 13, 1996.
Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger relating to the
merger involving QualMed, Inc. and Health Net which created the Company, in the
event that the Petitioners are successful and the Restricted Shares are
permitted to be issued to the Original Shareholders, shares of common stock
would be transferred from the Foundation to the Restricted Stock Recipients and
the Company would not suffer any adverse effect
-19-

other than the payment of legal fees and related costs of the Writ Proceeding
which the Company is obligated to fund.
Medaphis Corporation
On November 7, 1996 the Company filed a lawsuit against Medaphis
Corporation ("Medaphis") and its former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Randolph G. Brown entitled Health Systems International, Inc. v. Medaphis
Corporation, Randolph G. Brown and Does 1-50, case number BC 160414, Superior
Court of California, County of Los Angeles. The lawsuit arises out of the
acquisition of Health Data Sciences Corporation ("HDS") by Medaphis. In June
1996, the Company, the owner of 1,234,544 shares (or 77%) of Series F Preferred
Stock of HDS, representing over sixteen percent of the total outstanding equity
of HDS, voted its shares in favor of the acquisition of HDS by Medaphis. The
Company received as the result of the acquisition 976,771 shares of Medaphis
Common Stock in exchange for its Series F Preferred Stock.
In its complaint, the Company alleges that Medaphis was actually a
poorly run company with sagging earnings in its core businesses, and had
artificially maintained its stock prices through a series of acquisitions and
accounting maneuvers which provided the illusion of growth while hiding the
reality of its weakening financial and business condition. The Company alleges
that Medaphis, Brown, and other insiders deceived the Company by failing to
reveal that Medaphis would shortly reveal a "write off" of up to $40,000,000 in
reorganization costs and would lower its earnings estimate for the following
year, thereby more than halving the value of the Medaphis shares received by
the Company. The Company alleges that these false and misleading statements
were contained in oral communications with the Company, as well as in the
prospectus provided by Medaphis to all HDS shareholders in connection with the
HDS acquisition. Further, despite knowing of the Company's discussions to form a
strategic alliance of its own with HDS, Medaphis and the individual defendants
wrongfully interfered with that prospective business relationship by proposing
to acquire HDS using Medaphis stock whose market price was artificially
inflated by false and misleading statements. These allegations of the Company
constitute violations of both federal and state securities laws, as well as
constituting fraud and other torts under state law. The Company is seeking
either rescission of the transaction or damages in excess of $38,000,000. Since
the complaint was just recently filed, the defendants have not yet responded.
Miscellaneous Proceedings
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are also parties to
various other legal proceedings, many of which involve claims for coverage
encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Based upon information
presently available, management of the Company is of the opinion, based in part
on advice from litigation counsel to the Company, that the final outcome of all
such proceedings should not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
Revolving Credit Facility
On April 26, 1996, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement among the Company, Bank of America National Trust and Savings
Association ("Bank of America"), as agent, and certain financial institutions
which are parties thereto (the "Credit Agreement") pursuant to which the
Company obtained an unsecured five-year $700 million revolving credit facility.
The Credit Agreement replaced the Company's prior credit agreement providing
for an unsecured $400 million revolving credit facility, which prior agreement
was also entered into by the Company with Bank of America, as agent.
Specifically, Section 7.11 of the Credit Agreement provides that the
Company and its subsidiaries may, so long as no event of default exists (i)
declare and distribute stock as a dividend; (ii) purchase, redeem or acquire
its stock, options and warrants with the proceeds of concurrent public
offerings and (iii) declare and pay dividends or purchase, redeem or otherwise
acquire its capital stock, warrants, options or similar rights with cash so
long as the sum of such acquisitions does not exceed $150 million plus 25% of
the net income of the Company and its subsidiaries in fiscal 1995 plus 50% of
the net income of the Company and its subsidiaries in fiscal 1996 and
subsequent years (calculated on a cumulative consolidated basis).
In addition, under the Credit Agreement as originally executed the
Company was allowed to incur Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) to repurchase its Class A Common Stock, but was limited to
repurchasing not more than 50% of the Class A Common Stock held by certain
designated stockholders (the "50% Repurchase Limitation"). The Credit
Agreement was amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto on May 10, 1996 to eliminate
the 50% Repurchase Limitation. On May 28, 1996, the Credit Agreement was
further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto to clarify the definition of the
term "LIBOR Base Rate".
Shareholder Rights Plan
On May 20, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
dividend distribution of one right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of
the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (collectively, the
"Common Stock"), to stockholders of record at the close of business on July 31,
1996 (the "Record Date"). The Board of Directors of the Company also
authorized the issuance of one Right for each share of Common Stock issued
after the Record Date and prior to the earliest of the Distribution Date (as
defined below), the redemption of the Rights and the expiration of the Rights
and in certain other circumstances. Rights will attach to all Common Stock
certificates representing shares then outstanding and no separate Rights
Certificates will be distributed. Subject to certain exceptions contained in
the Rights Agreement dated as of June 1, 1996 by and between the Company and
Harris Trust and Savings Bank, as Rights Agent (the "Rights Agreement"), the
Rights will separate from the Common Stock in the event any person acquires 15%
or more of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, the Board of Directors of the
Company declares a holder of 10% or more of the outstanding Class A Common
Stock to be an "Adverse Person," or any person commences a tender offer for 15%
of the Class A Common Stock (each event causing a "Distribution Date").
-21-
22
Except as set forth below and subject to adjustment as provided in the
Rights Agreement, each Right entitles its registered holder, upon the
occurrence of a Distribution Date, to purchase from the Company one
one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, at
a price of $170.00 per one-thousandth share. However, in the event any person
acquires 15% or more of the outstanding Class A Common Stock, or the Board of
Directors of the Company declares a holder of 10% or more of the outstanding
Class A Common Stock to be an "Adverse Person," the Rights (subject to certain
exceptions contained in the Rights Agreement) will instead become exercisable
for Class A Common Stock having a market value at such time equal to $340.00.
The Rights are redeemable under certain circumstances at $.01 per Right and
will expire, unless earlier redeemed, on July 31, 2006.
A copy of the Rights Agreement has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company's Registration Statement on
Form 8-A (File No. 001-12718), and is available free of charge from the Company.
In connection with its execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") with Foundation Health Corporation, the Company entered into
Amendment No. 1 (the "Amendment") to the Rights Agreement to exempt the Merger
Agreement and related transactions from triggering the Rights. In addition, the
Amendment modifies certain terms of the Rights Agreement applicable to the
determination of certain "Adverse Persons," which modifications become
effective upon consummation of the transactions provided for under the Merger
Agreement. This summary description of the Rights does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Public Offering
On May 15, 1996, the Company completed a public offering (the
"Offering") in which the Company sold 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock
and the Foundation sold 6,664,964 shares of Class A Common Stock (constituting
6,664,964 shares of Class B Common Stock which automatically converted into
shares of Class A Common Stock upon the sale) for a per share purchase price to
the public of $30.00. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of
the 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock were approximately $92.4 million
after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses
of the Offering payable by the Company. The Company used its net proceeds from
the Offering to repurchase 3,194,374 shares of Class A Common Stock held
pursuant to the Amended and Restated Health Net Associate Trust Agreement dated
as of May 1, 1994 (the "Associate Trust Agreement"), on behalf of certain
founding stockholders of the Company at the date of the conversion of Health
Net to for-profit status (the "Class A Stockholders"). The repurchase price
per share paid by the Company to repurchase these shares of Class A Common
Stock from the Class A Stockholders was $28.92, which represented the net
proceeds per share received by the Company in the Offering. All 3,194,374 of
such shares repurchased by the Company are currently held as treasury stock.
The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of
Class A Common Stock by the Foundation.
Revolving Credit Facility
As indicated in Item 2 above, on April 26, 1996 the Company executed
the Credit Agreement which provides an unsecured five-year $700 million
revolving credit facility. A copy of the Credit Agreement was attached as
Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 26, 1996.
Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.33 to the
Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
and Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.33 to
the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,
1996. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings set
forth in the Credit Agreement.
Approximately $319 million which was borrowed under the Company's
prior $400 million credit facility was rolled into the new facility under the
Credit Agreement. The new facility is available to the Company and its
subsidiaries for general corporate purposes including Permitted Acquisitions
and Joint Ventures and, if the Company should elect, to repurchase or redeem
the Company's capital stock to the extent allowed by the Federal Reserve Board
Regulations and other requirements of law and as set forth in the Credit
Agreement. As of September 30, 1996, the Company had drawn approximately $319
million under the facility of which approximately $135 million had been applied
to pay a portion of the notes payable to the Foundation, approximately $100
million had been drawn to fund the Company's acquisition of M.D. Enterprises of
Connecticut, Inc., approximately $75 million had been drawn to fund the
Company's acquisition of G.H. Holding Corporation and approximately $9 million
had been drawn to fund certain stock repurchases from the Class A Stockholders
in February of 1996.
Bank of America is the lead bank and agent for the other participating
banks named in the Credit Agreement. At the election of the Company, and
subject to customary covenants, loans can be initiated on a bid
-24-

or committed basis and will carry interest at offshore or domestic rates, but
subject to the applicable LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, of .50% above the
Federal Funds Rate or the Bank of America "reference rate." Actual rates on
borrowings under the facility will vary based on competitive bidding, sources
of funds and the Company's senior leverage ratio at the time of the borrowing.
The facility is available for five years, until April 2001, but may be
extended, under certain circumstances, for two additional years until April
2003.
Loans under the facility are unsecured but the Company and its
subsidiaries are subject to affirmative and negative covenants. As described
in Item 2 above, these include limitations on the payment of cash dividends on
the Company's capital stock and, in certain cases, the redemption or repurchase
of capital stock or securities. In addition to obligations incurred under the

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Foundation Health Corporation
On October 1, 1996, the Company and FH Acquisition Corp., a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Foundation Health Corporation, a
Delaware corporation ("FHC"), whereby Merger Sub will merge (the "Merger") with
and into FHC and FHC will survive as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement FHC stockholders will receive 1.3 shares of
the Company's Class A Common Stock for every share of FHC common stock held.
The shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock issued to FHC's stockholders
in the Merger will constitute approximately 61% of the outstanding stock of the
Company after the Merger and the Company's current stockholders will hold
approximately 39% of the outstanding stock of the Company after the Merger.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company will amend its
Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the Company to Foundation
Health Systems, Inc. and to increase the number of authorized shares of the
Company's Common Stock to 380,000,000 shares consisting of 350,000,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock and 30,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock.
The Merger Agreement also provides for, among other things, amendment
of the Company's By-Laws to effect certain changes to the governance provisions
of the Company following the Merger, including provisions related to the
structure of the Company's Board of Directors and the committees of the
Company's Board of Directors. Except in certain circumstances, during a
transition period following the consummation of the Merger and up to, but not
including, the election of directors at the Company's May 2000 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders, the Company's Board of Directors will consist of 11 members,
six of whom (Daniel D. Crowley and five other independent directors) will be
designated by FHC and five of whom (Malik M. Hasan, M.D. and four other
independent directors) will be designated by the Company.
The Merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby require
the approval of the Company's stockholders and FHC's stockholders at their
respective special meeting of stockholders. Further information concerning the
Merger and the matters described above will be included in the proxy statement
related to such special meetings.
First Option Health Plan
On October 25, 1996, the Company announced it will make an initial $30
million investment in FOHP, Inc., the parent company of First Option Health
Plan ("FOHP") of Red Bank, New Jersey. FOHP is a managed health care company
owned by physicians, hospitals and other health care providers that provides a
full line of commercial products for businesses and individuals, along with
Medicare, Medicaid and Workers' Compensation programs. FOHP currently has
approximately 168,000 HMO members in New Jersey, 141,000 of which are
commercial and 27,000 of which are in Medicare and Medicaid programs. In
addition, FOHP has more than 70,000 Workers' Compensation members and 60,000
PPO members.
-26-
27
At closing, the Company will purchase $30 million worth of FOHP
Convertible Subordinated Debentures convertible into 40 percent of FOHP's
outstanding equity at the Company's discretion. In addition, FOHP will issue an
option to the Company that could eventually lead to the Company purchasing an
additional 11 percent ownership position in FOHP. The agreement with FOHP also
contemplates that up to another 20 percent of FOHP equity will either be
directly purchased by the Company or repurchased by FOHP with financing from the
Company shortly following the closing. As part of the transaction the Company
will also provide a variety of management services to FOHP, including
information systems, utilization review and quality assurance, and strategic
planning, among others. The Company will receive management fees from FOHP for
these services.
All of these transactions, which value FOHP at $75 million, are
subject to FOHP shareholder approval, applicable regulatory approvals, and
other customary conditions of closing.
