Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Maxicare Health Plans, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MHP”), is a holding company that owns various subsidiaries that had been engaged primarily in the field of managed care. As of March 15, 2002 all operations of MHP and its subsidiaries were terminated. Additionally, as of September 30, 2002, we were operating with a substantial capital deficiency (see “Liquidity” below).

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2002 and the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations contained in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2001. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year or any future interim period.

Our California HMO filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 25, 2001, terminated all of its operations on December 31, 2001; and surrendered its Certificate of Authority to Operate as an HMO on that date. Our Indiana HMO was placed into rehabilitation by the Indiana Department of Insurance on May 4, 2001 and was subsequently placed into liquidation by the Indiana Department of Insurance in July, 2001. Maxicare Life and Health Insurance Company was placed under administrative supervision by the Missouri Department of Insurance on May 24, 2001, terminated all of its operations on December 31, 2001; and was placed into rehabilitation on January 28, 2002.

We also own Health Care Assurance Company, Ltd., a captive insurer that provided certain insurance coverage to MHP and its subsidiaries. Effective January 31, 2002, Health Care Assurance Company, Ltd., ceased providing all such insurance. We also served as administrator of the California Access for Infants and Mothers program (“AIM”) program through another of our subsidiaries. Administration of the AIM program was transferred to another health care provider effective March 15, 2002.

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. As a result of the bankruptcy of our California HMO, the placement of our Indiana HMO into rehabilitation (and subsequently liquidation) by regulatory authorities; and the placement of Maxicare Life and Health Insurance Company under administrative supervision (and, subsequently, into rehabilitation), these three subsidiaries are excluded from the consolidated balance sheets; the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the three months ended September 30, 2001; and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 include the Indiana HMO and Maxicare Life and Health Insurance Company through May 4, 2001 and the California HMO through May 25, 2001.

Other Income

Other income consists primarily of revenue derived from our participation in the State of California’s Access for Infants and Mothers program, which terminated on March 15, 2002. In the third quarter of 2002 we recorded an additional $100,000 of other income from the sale of certain intellectual property rights.

Accounting Policies

For further information on MHP and subsidiaries (collectively “we” or the “Company”) and our accounting policies refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

Note 2 — Reverse Stock Split

On March 27, 2001, we effected a one-for-five reverse split of our common stock. All share and per share information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

Note 3 — Liquidity and Going Concern Issues

As noted above, all of our significant subsidiaries are in bankruptcy, liquidation or rehabilitation; and we have terminated all operations. We had at September 30, 2002 a consolidated working capital deficiency of approximately $7.2 million, and a deficiency in stockholders’ equity of approximately $10.3 million. We have no remaining operations and no means of generating additional capital.

Furthermore, of our total cash of $2.8 million at September 30, 2002, all but $133,000 was held at subsidiaries where the transfer of cash to MHP requires the approval of regulatory authorities. Subsequent to September 30, 2002 we were able to transfer $100,000 from one of our subsidiaries to MHP. We cannot give any assurance that we will be able to transfer any more funds to MHP. MHP has certain contractual undertakings for which it may be liable and there are various claims that may be asserted against it, including, among others, undertakings to and/or purported claims against it by vendors and former employees of its subsidiaries who have provided goods or services to those subsidiaries.

At April 1, 2001, a note held by MHP in the approximate amount of $2.9 million became due. The note, issued by a shareholder and former executive officer of MHP, had not been paid as of November 8, 2002. We commenced an action in California state court to collect on the note, and on October 18, 2001, the court granted summary adjudication in our favor. We cannot give assurance that we will recover all or a significant portion of this note. This note is presented as a reduction in shareholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets.

MHP has defaulted in making the monthly payments due a former executive under his consulting agreement since October of 2001. The total amount due the former executive for the period of October 2001 through September 30, 2002 is approximately $515,000. Under that agreement, the former executive may elect to receive the present value of the remaining consulting fees due to him through June 30, 2003, which is estimated at no more than $900,000. We have not received any notice from the former executive seeking to make such election.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Because of our financial condition, our continuing losses, the absence of business opportunities and the claims of our creditors, we may seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

Note 4 — Discontinued Operations

The placement of the Indiana HMO into rehabilitation on May 4, 2001, the bankruptcy filing of the California HMO on May 25, 2001 and the rehabilitation of Maxicare Life and Health Insurance Company have effectively ended our involvement in the managed care industry. As a result, we have treated these subsidiaries as discontinued operations in the preparation of these financial statements to the extent that their operations and accounts have been included in the financial statements at all. The operations of these subsidiaries are included as discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

Note 5 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Contract Terminations

On or about June 25, 2001, the Commissioner of the Indiana Department of Insurance (the “Commissioner”), as the rehabilitator of Maxicare Indiana, Inc., the Company’s Indiana HMO, filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Marion County Circuit Court of Indiana against the Company and the five directors of the Indiana HMO, one of whom was a director of the Company. The Commissioner amended the Complaint on February 1, 2002. The Complaint, as amended, alleges, in substance, that: (1) the directors of the Indiana HMO breached their fiduciary duty by failing to maintain a plan providing for continuation of care benefits in the event that the Indiana HMO was placed in receivership, and that the Company is also liable for such failure; (2) the Company fraudulently concealed the financial condition of the Indiana HMO; (3) the Company manipulated the finances of the Indiana HMO for the Company’s own benefit; and (4) the Company received preferential and/or fraudulent transfers of money from the Indiana HMO. The amended Complaint requests money damages but does not specify the amount of damages sought, except that it seeks approximately $3.5 million respecting the alleged preferential and/or fraudulent transfers. All defendants answered the amended Complaint on April 5, 2002. Pre-trial discovery is proceeding but is not yet completed. The Company believes that the claims against it are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the suit.

On or about June 6, 2002, Eugene Froelich commenced a purported derivative action in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County, on behalf of the Company against certain of its former and current officers and directors. The complaint, which names the Company as a nominal defendant, alleges, in substance, that the officers and directors breached their fiduciary duty to the Company in that they flagrantly mismanaged company affairs. The action seeks compensatory damages of not less than $10 million, together with an unspecified amount of punitive damages. The Company and the individuals have moved to dismiss the complaint, and the motion is pending. Mr. Froelich was previously the executive vice president, chief financial officer and a director of the Company. The Company has a judgment in excess of $3 million against Mr. Froelich based on a promissory note that he gave to it while he was a Company executive.

On or about July 1, 2002, Mr. Froelich commenced an action in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against the Company and certain unnamed Company officers/directors. The complaint alleges that defendants’ denial of a lump sum payment to Mr. Froelich under the Company’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Program and the suspension of payments to him under such Program for one year constituted breaches of contract, breaches of fiduciary duty and violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The action seeks compensatory damages of no less than $1.0 million, punitive damages in an amount to be determined and an award of attorneys’ fees. On July 23, 2002, defendants served an answer to the complaint, and on July 26, 2002, defendants removed the case from California state court to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Pre-trial discovery is in an early stage. The Company believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the suit. As noted above, Mr. Froelich was previously a senior officer and director of the Company, and the Company has a judgment against him in excess of $3 million based on a promissory note he gave to it.

On September 1, 2000 the Company entered into an Application and Business Services Agreement (the “Trizetto Agreement”) with the Trizetto Group, Inc. (“TZG”). The Trizetto Agreement called for TZG to provide a full range of management information services to us over a period of seven years in exchange for monthly payments. The Trizetto Agreement also called for a termination payment to be made by us under certain circumstances upon the termination of the Trizetto Agreement by the Company. The termination payment could be as much as $15.0 million. In March 2001, the Company assigned the Trizetto Contract to Maxicare, the Company’s California HMO. The California Department of Managed Health Care and the Committee of Creditors Holding Unsecured Claims in the California HMO’s bankruptcy proceeding have questioned the validity of that assignment. The California HMO has continued to

pay TZG for post-petition services at a monthly amount less than that contemplated in the Trizetto Agreement while TZG has provided services at a lower level than that contemplated in the Trizetto Agreement. In addition to asserting various pre- and post-petition claims in the California bankruptcy proceeding, TZG has demanded $4.6 million from the Company in connection with this contract. The final amount of TZG’s termination claim against us is unknown at this time.

Effective January 1, 2001, the Company entered into a Pharmacy Benefits Management Agreement (the “PBM Agreement”) with Medimpact Healthcare Systems, Inc. (“Medimpact”). The PBM Agreement called for Medimpact to process and fill within its network of contracting pharmacies prescriptions for members of Maxicare Life and Health Insurance Company, Inc., the California HMO and the Indiana HMO. The PBM agreement called for the Company to reimburse Medimpact for the cost of drugs dispensed and to pay per transaction administrative fees on a bi-weekly basis. As a result of the Indiana HMO being placed in rehabilitation and the California HMO’s bankruptcy, Medimpact allegedly has not received reimbursement for certain prescriptions filled on behalf of the members of those subsidiaries. Although it has yet to do so, Medimpact may seek reimbursement from the Company for such costs.

Effective February 2, 2000 the Company entered into a Services Agreement for Back Office Administration with Nichols TXEN Corporation calling for Nichols TXEN to provided certain claims adjudication services to certain of our subsidiaries in exchange for a predetermined per member per month fee. On September 18, 2002 CSC Healthcare, Inc., the successor in interest to Nichols TXEN, filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County, Alabama seeking approximately $880,000 plus interest from the Company under the contract. The Company believes that the claim against it is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the suit.

Other than those noted above, no claims have been filed against the Company by the creditors of Maxicare Life and Health Insurance Company, Inc., the California HMO or the Indiana HMO. However, claims may be filed against us by such creditors in the future.

Note 6 — Impairment of Leased Assets

     During the first quarter of 2002 we determined that the termination of our business operations eliminated our need for certain high volume copying equipment held under capital lease agreements. We have returned that equipment to the lessor and have recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1.0 million on our consolidated statements of operations in March, 2002 to write off the entire net book value of these leased assets. The liability associated with these leased assets remains on our consolidated balance sheets.

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

Results Of Operations, Rehabilitation And Bankruptcy

Current Status

On December 31, 2001, we effectively ceased all operations. On that date, our California HMO and PPO terminated all membership. Our remaining operations at December 31, 2001 consisted of Health Care Assurance Company, Ltd., a captive insurer that provided certain insurance coverage to us and our subsidiaries, and our administration of the California Access for Infants and Mothers program (“AIM”) program through another of our subsidiaries. The activities of Health Care Assurance Company, Ltd., essentially ended with the termination of our HMO and PPO business. Our involvement with the AIM program ended on March 15, 2002.

Because of our financial condition, our continuing losses, the absence of business opportunities and the claims of our creditors, we may seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

Liquidity/ Working Capital Deficiency

As noted above, we have terminated all operations. We had at September 30, 2002 a consolidated working capital deficiency of approximately $7.2 million, and a deficiency in stockholders’ equity of approximately $10.3 million. We have no remaining operations and no means of generating additional capital. Furthermore, of our total cash and marketable securities of $2.8 million at September 30, 2002, all but $133,000 was held at subsidiaries where the transfer of cash to MHP requires the approval of regulatory authorities. Subsequent to September 30, 2002 we were able to transfer $100,000 from one of our subsidiaries to MHP. We may not be able to transfer any more funds to MHP. MHP has certain contractual undertakings for which it may be liable and there are various alleged claims that may be asserted against it, including, among others, undertakings to and/or purported claims against it by vendors to and former employees of its subsidiaries who have provided goods or services to those subsidiaries.

MHP has defaulted in making the monthly payments due a former executive under his consulting agreement since October of 2001. The total amount due the former executive for the period of October 2001 through June 2002 is approximately $515,000. Under that agreement, the former executive may elect to receive the present value of the remaining consulting fees due to him through September 30, 2003, which is estimated at no more than $900,000. We have not received any notice from the former executive seeking to make such election.

Results of Operations

We reported a net loss of $142,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002. We reported a net loss of $768,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. We reported a net loss of $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. We reported a net loss of $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 due to $2.6 million in losses from continuing operations and $28.1 million in losses from discontinued operations, offset in part by a gain of $16.4 million realized by MHP upon the placement of our Indiana HMO and its wholly-owned subsidiary, MLH, into rehabilitation and the bankruptcy of our California HMO. This gain represents the extent to which liabilities of those subsidiaries exceeded their assets at the date of rehabilitation (Indiana) or bankruptcy (California).

Forward Looking Statements

The statements in this Form 10-Q may be forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements in this Form 10-Q that state our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions are “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to, those identified under “Risk Factors” and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations in this Form 10-Q, as well as those described in any other filings by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as general economic conditions, any one or more of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in such statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As of September 30, 2002, we had approximately $2.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, no marketable securities and no restricted investments. Our investment policies emphasize return of principal and liquidity and are focused on fixed returns that limit volatility and risk of principal. Because of our investment policies, the primary market risk associated with our portfolio is interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2002, the Company did not have any outstanding bank borrowings or debt obligations.
