Independent Accountants’ Review Report

To the Board of Directors of OptimumCare Corporation:

         We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of OptimumCare Corporation and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2002, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of OptimumCare Corporation.

         A review of interim financial information consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

         Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

         We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 12, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

September 30, 2002

NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions, if any, have been eliminated. The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

NOTE B — MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities consist of federal home loan bank bonds, federal farm credit bonds and U.S. treasury notes with an aggregate principal amount of $475,000 and $0 at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 respectively. The bonds and notes bear interest ranging from 2.150% to 5.755% and have maturity dates ranging through January 2004.

The Company believes that the carrying amount of these bonds approximates their fair value at September 30, 2002.

NOTE C — EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

NOTE D — NEW BUSINESS

Effective July 29, 2002, the Company acquired the assets of a health care staffing company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Associated Staffing Resources, Inc., for cash consideration of $150,000 and an accrued liability of $50,000 payable on August 31, 2003. Goodwill in the amount of $194,934 was recorded as of September 30, 2002. Additional amounts of $25,000, $27,500 and $30,000 are due on August 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, respectively, contingent upon meeting certain revenue goals. As part of the purchase, the Company entered into a three year employment agreement with the previous owner for a salary of $102,000 for the first year, $107,000 for the second year, and $112,000 for the third year. The employment agreement also stipulates a monthly auto allowance and bonuses based on exceeding certain revenue and net income goals.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

Safe harbor statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains statements which are forward-looking in time and involve risks and uncertainties, including the risks associated with plans, the effects of changing economic and competitive conditions, government regulation which may affect facilities, licensing, healthcare reform which may affect payment amounts and timing, availability of sufficient working capital, Program development efforts and timing and market acceptance of new Programs which may affect future sales growth and/or costs of operations.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

At September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company’s working capital was $2,300,143 and $2,843,872, respectively. The decrease in working capital for the period is primarily due to the Company’s net loss. The nature of the Company’s business requires significant working capital to fund operations of its programs as well as to fund corporate expenditures until receivables can be collected. Moreover, because each of the existing contracts represents a significant portion of the Company’s business, the inability to collect any of the accounts receivable could materially and adversely affect the Company’s liquidity. The Company evaluates the collectibility of its receivables on a case by case basis. Accounts receivable at September 30, 2002 has decreased from those which existed at December 31, 2001. This is primarily due to the collection of receivables from two contracts with one hospital that were terminated April 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, all accounts receivable are ninety days outstanding or less. Management believes that no collection problems with respect to these receivables exist. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been recorded at September 30, 2002.

Cash flows from operations were $(209,530) and $(718,770) for the periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cash flows during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were primarily due to collections of accounts receivable and prepaid income taxes, partially offset by payments of amounts accrued at December 31, 2001.

Cash flows from investing activities were $(476,286) and $(25,005) for the periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cash used during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 primarily arose from the purchase of short-term federal bonds and U.S. treasury notes which was partially offset by the payment of a note receivable from one officer. In addition, the Company acquired the assets of a health care staffing company for cash consideration of $150,000 and an accrued liability of $50,000 payable on August 31, 2003.

No cash flows with respect to financing activities occurred during the nine month period ending September 30, 2002 and 2001. The Company has a line of credit which expires January 31, 2003. The maximum indebtedness is $1,500,000. Amounts allowable for draw are based on 80% of certain qualified accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2002, approximately $586,000 is available for future draws on the line of credit agreement. It is expected that the line of credit will be renewed on similar terms. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity for the fiscal year 2002 are cash on hand, accounts receivable, a line of credit with a bank and continuing revenues from programs and from the recently acquired staffing business.

Material Changes in Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2001

The Company operated five (5) contract programs during the three months ended September 30, 2002 and eight (8) contract programs during the three months ended September 30, 2001. Net revenues were $756,573 and $1,888,994 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in net revenues among periods is primarily due to the decrease in the number of operating programs. On July 29, 2002, the Company purchased a health care staffing company whose revenues were $486,170 for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

Cost of services provided were $1,023,966 and $1,313,048 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in cost of services provided among periods is due to the decrease in the number of programs offset by increases for the new staffing company acquisition.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $699,885 and $303,685 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, respectively. The increase in costs was primarily due to fees paid to business development consultants assisting the Company in its expansion and acquisition endeavors and a bonus paid to its Chief Executive Officer due to a miscalculation of his previous bonus.

Income taxes have decreased substantially for the three months ended September 30, 2002 over the comparable three months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease among periods is primarily due to the net loss generated by the Company during the current period.

Net (loss)/income were $(295,902) and $196,131 for the three months ending September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Lower net income occurred from a decrease in operating programs.

The Company is continuing to make efforts to expand the number of its operational programs. However, new rules adopted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) are now requiring that facilities obtain “provider based status” before a provider can bill Medicare for services rendered at the facility. The Company anticipates that the application of these rules will not affect existing programs but may affect efforts to expand with future programs.

Concurrent with its strategy for expanding its contract business, the Company is in the process of developing a home health division and acquiring strategic businesses with complimentary health care services. Revenues from the home health division are expected to be generated by the end of 2002 or in early 2003. The Company acquired a health care staffing company during the three months ended September 30, 2002 and signed letters of intent to acquire two additional health care staffing companies, one of which was acquired on November 7, 2002.

10

Table of Contents

In the Company’s mental health disorder program management business, the Company has a dependence on a small customer base, presently consisting of four hospitals. However, the Company has a significant amount of variable expenses associated with the production of its revenues, although certain fixed costs do exist. To that end, the loss of customers has a significant adverse effect on the Company’s profit margin. The Company expects a loss on its core business operations and the development of the home health agency for the remainder of 2002. However, the acquisition of the health care staffing company is anticipated to increase revenues and profits which should help to offset new expenses associated with developing programs, divisions and acquisitions, the aggregate costs of which are unknown at this time.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2002 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001

The Company had six (6) operational Programs during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 and nine (9) operational programs during the nine month period ended September 30, 2001. Of the six programs operated during the three months ended September 30, 2002, two programs were terminated April 30, 2002 and one program began June 16, 2002.

Net revenues decreased approximately 34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 over the comparable nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease among periods is due to the decrease in the number of programs offset by revenues from a new business entity acquired during the period.

Cost of services provided decreased approximately 26% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 over the comparable nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease among periods is also due to the decrease in the number of programs offset by expenses from the new business acquired during the period as stated above.

General and administrative expenses have slightly increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 over the comparable nine months ended September 30, 2001. This was primarily due to fees paid to business development consultants assisting the Company in its expansion and acquisition endeavors and a bonus paid to its Chief Executive Officer due to a miscalculation of his previous bonus.

Income taxes have decreased substantially for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 over the comparable nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease among periods is primarily due to the net loss generated by the Company during the current period.

The Company incurred a net loss of $(338,671) for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net income of $561,131 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The decrease among periods is primarily due to the decrease in profits arising from a smaller number of operating programs.
