CREDIT SUISSE FIRST BOSTON'S VALUATION APPROACH
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


           Acordia, Inc. was valued on a total company and segment basis:

              * Segments analyzed were Acordia Brokers and Acordia Health

              * Consolidated Acordia, Inc. equity valuation equals value of
                Acordia Brokers plus value of Acordia Health plus operating cash
                and equivalents (including cash from option and warrant
                exercise) less Acordia, Inc. debt and applicable taxes

           Credit Suisse First Boston has primarily utilized the following
           analytical techniques:

              * Comparable Publicly-Traded Companies analysis, which applies
                selected stock price multiples of historical and estimated
                financial data for comparable publicly-traded companies to
                historical and projected financial data of Acordia's business
                segments

              * Comparable Acquisition analysis which applies selected multiples
                of acquisition prices paid to historical financial data for
                transactions involving companies in similar lines of business to
                Acordia's business segments

              * Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") analysis, which discounts to 
                present value projected cash flows provided by Acordia 
                broker's business segments under a variety of operating 
                scenarios

              * Leveraged Buy-Out ("LBO") analysis, which looks at the range of
                equity returns supported by Acordia Brokers' projected cash 
                flows under a variety of capital structures

           * Key valuation issues are: (1) lack of reported net income due to
             acquisitions; (2) ability of Acordia Brokers to achieve pro forma
             financial results; and, (3) value of non-Anthem TPA businesses

           * The most comparable publicly-traded companies are Arthur J.

ACORDIA HEALTH VALUATION DISCUSSION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           * There is uncertainty surrounding the valuation of Acordia Health
             due to the unique relationship between Anthem and Acordia

           * The intrinsic value of Acordia Health depends largely on the future
             profitability permitted by Anthem since Acordia Health is dependent
             on Anthem for revenues and profits

               - Existing contract with Acordia can be canceled by Anthem
                 without penalty

               - Future profitability of Acordia Health is expected to fall
                 dramatically as Anthem transitions to managed care


           * As a result, different valuation techniques give markedly different
             valuations for Acordia Health

               - None of the comparable companies or comparable acquisitions
                 analyzed by CSFB have an analogous customer relationship

               - Publicly-traded healthcare service and administration companies
                 all have high (18.5% - 19.9%) projected rates of earnings
                 growth in contrast to Acordia Health

               - In determining CSFB's reference range for Acordia Health, we
                 have placed more emphasis on our DCF valuation since it is the
                 valuation technique which takes into account the future
                 earnings potential of Acordia Health

CONSIDERATIONS IN TAKING ACORDIA PRIVATE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           * Purchase by a controlling shareholder of all the remaining shares
             (termed a "minority squeeze-out") generally requires a premium to
             prevailing market price

           * Since Anthem announced that it was reviewing its investment in
             Acordia, Inc. on February 6, 1997, Acordia's stock price has
             appreciated 28.7% versus a 8.8% increase in the S&P 500 and a 14.0%
             increase in the Brokers Index over the same period

           * The indicated value range for Acordia relative to premiums paid in
             similar situations is as follows:

ACORDIA BROKERS - DCF VALUATION SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           * DCF analysis based on 1997 projections supplied by Acordia, Inc.
             with CSFB projecting operating results for 1998-2006.

           * CSFB discounted projected 10-year cash flows at discount rates of
             10%, 12% and 14% based on weighted average cost of capital
             ("WACC") analysis for the same companies used in the comparable
             companies valuation, which generated results ranging from 10% to
             12%.

           * CSFB has used a range of discount rates that extend above the
             results of our WACC analysis to account for what we believe are
             higher capital costs for Acordia, Inc. versus the larger, better
             established public companies used in our analysis and the perceived
             risk inherent in management's projections, which have historically
             been inaccurate.

           * CSFB performed DCF analysis under three scenarios:

             - Base Case: 4.3% revenue growth (based on Acordia's actual 1996
               internal growth rate) and margin improvement to 15.2% in 1997
               (based on Acordia's 1997 pro forma projected margin) and held
               constant thereafter.

             - Margin Decrease Case: 4.3% revenue growth and margins decreased
               by 0.8% per year until reaching 11.0% in 2002 and held constant
               thereafter.

             - Margin Increase Case: 4.3 % revenue growth and margins increased
               by 0.8% per year until reaching 19.8% in 2003 and held constant
               thereafter.

ACORDIA BROKERS -- LBO ANALYSIS SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


           * Since the buyer of Acordia Brokers will be a financial buyer, CSFB
             has analyzed the potential returns in a highly leveraged
             acquisition of Acordia Brokers

           * CSFB has assumed an equity investor in a leveraged buy-out of
             Acordia Brokers would require a 25% to 35% IRR on its equity
             investment

           * Assuming a base case similar to the DCF base case, with revenue
             growth of 4.3% annually, EBITDA margins in 1997 of 15.2% growing to
             19.0% by 2001 in three scenarios (i.e., Scenarios A, B and C) and
             held constant in the other (i.e., Scenario D), no incremental
             acquisitions and a 10% carried interest for Acordia Broker's
             management, this produces returns as shown in the following table
             based on various purchase price scenarios as follows:

ACORDIA HEALTH - DCF VALUATION SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           CSFB has been provided with two 5-year projections of future
           revenues for Acordia's Anthem-related business:

             * Anthem Planned Case: Anthem achieves its planned growth in
               managed care members and traditional health insurance customers
               are reduced over time. Acordia Health continues to serve
               Anthem's customers, but does not earn any revenue for managed
               care service which Anthem provides.

             * Do Nothing/Margin Drop Case: There is no change in Acordia's
               compensation or Anthem's cost, and as a result Anthem's business
               shrinks substantially due to competitive factors. Acordia's
               revenues fall by $57.4 million and as a result, Acordia Health's
               EBITDA margin falls to 10% in 1998 and improves at 1% per year
               thereafter.

           In addition, CSFB has projected two other scenarios of future
           revenues for Acordia's Anthem-related business:

           * Independent Acordia Case: Acordia and Anthem sever their business
             relationship at the end of 1998, and Acordia places 100% of its
             business with unaffiliated carriers.

           * Slow Transition Case: Anthem achieves its planned growth unmanaged
             care members but at a slower rate than currently planned.

ACORDIA HEALTH - DCF VALUATION SUMMARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


           * For the Anthem Planned Case and the Independent Acordia Case, CSFB
             assumed an EBITDA margin of 20.1% (based on a historical blended
             EBITDA margin rate and the Anthem projections) and have reduced
             this margin by 1% per year due to the uncertainties surrounding
             changes in Acordia Health.

           * For the Do Nothing/Margin Drop Case, CSFB projected Acordia
             Health's EBITDA margin to drop to 10% in 1998 due to a projected
             loss of revenue and inability to cut costs at the same rate and to
             improve at 1% per year thereafter.

           * For the Slow Transition Case, CSFB assumed a constant EBITDA margin
             of 20.1% due to less uncertainty surrounding a gradual change in
             Acordia Health's business.

           * In each case, CSFB assumed that non-Anthem revenues in Acordia
             Health (which represented approximately 11% of Acordia Health
             revenue in 1996) grow at 5% per year.

           * CSFB discounted projected 5-year cash flows at discount rates of
             11%, 12% and 13% based on a WACC analysis for the same companies
             used in the comparable companies valuation, which generated results
             ranging from 11% to 13%.
