Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)


1. General

The consolidated condensed financial statements as of September 30, 2002
and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are
unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, necessary for fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been
included. The consolidated condensed balance sheet for December 31, 2001 was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 are
not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December 31,
2002.

The consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Matria Healthcare, Inc. ("Matria"
or the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2001.


2. Comprehensive Earnings

Comprehensive earnings generally include all changes in equity during a
period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners. For the Company, comprehensive earnings consist of net earnings, foreign
currency translation adjustments (net of income taxes) and changes in unrealized
appreciation on available-for-sale securities (net of income taxes).
Comprehensive earnings (loss) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2002 were $(1,247) and $171, respectively, and for the
corresponding periods in 2001 were $2,455 and $7,115, respectively.


3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial
instruments are as follows:




September 30, 2002
---------------------------
Carrying Fair
Amount Value
------------- -------------
Senior notes, net of unamortized discount $ 115,069 98,820



The estimated fair value of the above financial instruments is based upon
the quoted market price of the senior notes. The Company's other financial
instruments approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of those assets
and liabilities.


4. Business Segment Information

The Company's reportable business segments are the strategic business
units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately,
and the Company evaluates performance based on operating earnings of the
respective business unit.


The Company's operations are classified into two reportable business
segments: Health Enhancement and Women's Health. The Health Enhancement segment
includes disease management and medical product design and manufacturing.
Disease management involves identification, stratification, assessment,
education, clinical interventions and products for the management of specified
diseases and associated co-morbidities. The Company currently offers disease
management services for diabetes, respiratory disease, cardiac disease and
cancer. The Women's Health segment offers services designed to assist physicians
and payors in the cost effective management of maternity patients including:
specialized home nursing; risk assessment; patient education, case and disease
management; home uterine contraction monitoring; infusion therapy; gestational
diabetes and hypertension management; and other monitoring and clinical services
as prescribed by the patient's physician.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those for the
consolidated entity. Operating earnings of the Health Enhancement and Women's
Health segments were reduced by amortization of goodwill of $6,527 and $423,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. As discussed in note
5, no amortization of goodwill was recorded for the nine months ended September
30, 2002. Severance and related costs of $1,392 and $391 were incurred in the
Health Enhancement and Women's Health segments, respectively, during the nine
months ended September 30, 2002. Operating earnings by business segment exclude
interest income and interest expense. An allocation of corporate expenses for
shared services has been charged to the segments.

Summarized financial information as of and for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 by business segment
follows:

The Company's revenues from operations outside the U.S. were approximately
17% and 16% of total revenues for the three-month periods ended September 30,
2002 and 2001, respectively; and 17% and 16% of total revenues for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. No single
customer accounted for 10% of consolidated net revenue of the Company in any of
these periods.


5. Implementation of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations
("SFAS 141") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase
method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated or
completed after June 30, 2001 and specifies criteria intangible assets acquired
in a purchase method business combination must meet to be recognized and
reported apart from goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be
tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS 142. SFAS 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful
lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their
estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of
("SFAS 121").

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 141 in 2001 and SFAS 142
effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 141 required, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that
the Company evaluate its existing goodwill and intangible assets that were
acquired in prior purchase business combinations and make any necessary
reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in SFAS 141 for
recognition apart from goodwill. Upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company also was
required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible
assets acquired, and to make any necessary amortization period adjustments.


During the first quarter of 2002, the Company evaluated the fair values of
the business segments identified under the provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142
and concluded that no impairment of recorded goodwill exists. The carrying
values of goodwill as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were as
follows:




Health Women's
Enhancement Health Total
----------------- ------------- -----------
Carrying value at December 31, 2001 $ 104,832 2,682 107,514
Additional goodwill from acquisitions (note 7) 24,142 -- 24,142
Tax benefit of additional deductible goodwill (339) -- (339)
--------- ------------- -----------
Carrying value at September 30, 2002 $ 128,635 2,682 131,317
========= ===== =======



In connection with the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company also
reassessed the useful lives, residual values and classification of its
identifiable intangible assets and determined that they continue to be
appropriate. The components of identifiable intangible assets were as follows:




September 30, December 31,
2002 2001
-------------------- -----------------
Gross carrying amounts:
Patient lists $3,300 3,300
Non-compete agreement 500 500
------- -------
3,800 3,800
Accumulated amortization (2,100) (1,680)
------- -------
$1,700 2,120
====== =======



Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was
$420 and is estimated to be $560 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Estimated
amortization expense for the five succeeding years is as follows:

2003 $ 560
2004 200
2005 200
2006 200
2007 200



The reconciliation of reported net earnings (loss) adjusted for the
adoption of SFAS 142 is as follows:

======== ==== ====== ======



In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds
FASB Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt,
and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of
Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. It also rescinds FASB Statement
No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. SFAS 145 amends FASB
Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between
the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required
accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are
similar to sale-leaseback transactions. It also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS 145 had
no impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities ("SFAS 146"). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting
for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging
Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring) ("Issue 94-3"). The principal difference
between SFAS 146 and Issue 94-3 relates to its requirements for recognition of a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. This
Statement requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or
disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue
94-3, a liability for an exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized at
the date of an entity's commitment to an exit plan. A fundamental conclusion
reached by the FASB in SFAS 146 is that an entity's commitment to a plan, by
itself, does not create a present obligation to others that meets the definition
of a liability. Therefore, SFAS 146 eliminates the definition and requirements
for recognition of exit costs in Issue 94-3. It also establishes that fair value
is the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of
SFAS 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged.

7. Acquisitions

On September 30, 2002, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the
issued and outstanding stock of Quality Oncology, Inc. ("QO"), a national
provider of cancer disease management services, from LifeMetrix, Inc. for
consideration valued for financial statement purposes at approximately $20,000.
This acquisition broadens the Company's capability to offer health plans and
employers a single source for multiple disease management services among the
five most costly chronic diseases and episodic conditions. In this acquisition,
the Company also acquired from LifeMetrix its Integrated Care Management System
and its rights in Cancerpage.com(tm) and other assets related to its cancer
disease management business. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid
$3,000 (less previously paid advances and deposits of $2,000) in cash and issued
approximately 890,000 shares of common stock. The common stock is reflected on
the Company's balance sheet at September 30, 2002 at a price of $18.818 per
share. The price is the 5-day average of the closing stock prices between June 3
and June 7, 2002, based on a measurement date of June 5, which was the date that
the closing stock price fell below the $19.148 minimum price in the purchase and
sale agreement and the number of shares became fixed.

Additional financial consideration will be paid in 2004 based upon 2003
operating results. Management currently estimates that the additional
consideration could be between $20,000 and $30,000, although the amount could be
more or less depending on 2003 performance. The additional consideration will be
payable, at the Company's option, in cash, shares of common stock or a
combination thereof, provided that the lesser of 20% of the payment or $10,000
must be paid in cash.


The Company's September 30, 2002 balance sheet reflects the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in this transaction, including additional goodwill of
$20,855. However, at this time, the Company has not completed its final
assessment of the allocation of the purchase price in order to determine whether
a portion of the purchase price may be allocated to identifiable intangible
assets or deferred tax assets. The recorded goodwill is expected to be fully
deductible for federal tax purposes.

Results of operations of QO will be reflected in the consolidated
statement of operations of the Company effective October 1, 2002. The following
unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations are presented to
give effect to the acquisition as if it had been completed as of the beginning
of the period being reported upon. The pro forma information presents the
combined results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2002 and 2001 and was prepared based on the historical financial statements and
related notes of Matria and QO. Pro forma adjustments reflect the income tax
effect of QO's net loss. Incremental shares of Matria common stock
resulting from the acquisition are reflected in the calculation of pro forma
earnings per share.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statements of operations
were prepared in accordance with rules and regulations established by the
Securities and Exchange Commission and are not necessarily reflective of the
actual or future results of operations or the financial position of Matria.

8. Long-Term Debt

In October 2002, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility
with a borrowing capacity of the lesser of $35,000 or 80% of eligible accounts
receivable. The facility is collateralized by cash, accounts receivable,
inventories, intellectual property and certain other assets of the Company.
Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus 2.9% and
the facility requires a non-utilization fee of 0.5% of the unused borrowing
capacity. Interest and the commitment fee are payable monthly. The facility has
an initial two-year term. Thereafter, the term will be automatically extended
for annual successive periods unless either party provides notice not less than
60 days prior to the end of the period.







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

General

Matria Healthcare, Inc. ("the Company") is a leading provider of
comprehensive, integrated disease management services to patients, physicians,
health plans and employers. Matria's strategy is to provide cost-saving
solutions for the five most costly chronic diseases and episodic conditions in
the nation: diabetes, obstetrical conditions, respiratory disorders, cancer and
cardiovascular disease. The Company`s disease management programs seek to lower
healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes through a broad range of disease
management, mail-order supply and clinical services.

The Company has two reporting segments, Health Enhancement and Women's
Health. The Health Enhancement segment is comprised of the Company's diabetes
and respiratory disease management programs and the new cardiovascular and
cancer service offerings. The Women's Health segment includes the Company's
services in the area of assessment and management of obstetrical conditions.

In April 2002, the Company introduced its cardiovascular disease management
program, which includes the management of patients afflicted with Coronary
Artery Disease, Congestive Heart Failure and hypertensive disorders. Effective
June 14, 2002, the Company acquired MarketRing.com ("MarketRing"), a healthcare
information technology company. MarketRing has certain proprietary technology
that the Company had previously licensed and currently utilizes with its
TRAX(TM) disease management system. The Company intends to utilize this
technology to facilitate the development of sophisticated website portals for
patients, physicians, payors and employers under its current and future disease
management contracts. The Company's financial statements include the operations
of MarketRing commencing on June 14, 2002.

On September 30, 2002, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the
issued and outstanding stock of Quality Oncology, Inc. ("QO"), a national
provider of cancer disease management programs, from LifeMetrix, Inc. This
acquisition broadens the Company's capability to offer health plans and
employers a single source for multiple disease management services. In this
acquisition, the Company also acquired from LifeMetrix its Integrated Care
Management System and its rights in Cancerpage.com(TM) and other assets related
to its cancer disease management business. Results of operations of QO will be
reflected in the consolidated statement of operations of the Company effective
October 1, 2002.

In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Company will be consolidating and
expanding its disease management call center in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to
capital costs for leasehold improvements, expenses are expected to be incurred
for personnel and other start-up costs in advance of the January 2003 expected
initiation of new disease management contracts.

In February 2001, the Company sold the business and certain assets of
Quality Diagnostic Services, Inc. ("QDS"), a cardiac event monitoring company.
The Company's consolidated financial statements reflect QDS as a discontinued
operation in 2001 and 2002.

The following discussion of the results of operations and financial
condition of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and related notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The historical results of operations are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for future periods.



Results of Operations

Revenues increased $3.3 million, or 4.8%, and $11.6 million, or 6.0%, for
the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 compared to the
same periods in 2001. This increase resulted from strong growth in the Health
Enhancement segment, where revenues increased $5.3 million, or 12.7%, and $16.1
million, or 13.9%, for the three-month and nine-month periods, respectively.
Revenues in the Women's Health segment decreased $2.0 million, or 7.6%, and $4.6
million, or 5.8%, for the three-month and nine-month periods, respectively, due
primarily to a decline in the patient census for preterm labor management
services.

Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues increased to 60.2% for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2002 from 55.0.% for the same period in
2001. For the nine-month period, the percentage increased to 58.6% in 2002 from
54.5% in 2001. The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the Health
Enhancement segment increased due to inefficiencies experienced by Facet
Technologies prior to the installation of a new automated packaging line in July
and August 2002, and due to additional labor costs incurred during the
implementation phase of a new disease management contract. Facet Technologies
also experienced higher costs of revenues as a percentage of revenues due to
price concessions provided to customers that exceeded supplier cost reductions.
The cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues in the Women's Health segment
has increased due to a significant price increase in one of the primary drugs
used in its preterm labor management program, combined with a change in the
patient therapy mix. In September 2002, the Company signed a contract with its
supplier which will reduce the cost of this drug in the fourth quarter 2002.

Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased
to 29.4% from 27.4% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared
to the same period of 2001 primarily due to increases in direct-response
advertising expenses and costs related to customer service incurred to generate
and support higher revenue levels in the Health Enhancement segment. Selling and
administrative expenses for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002
included a one-time, non-cash charge of $2.5 million related to the retirement
of a $3.5 million note receivable from a former executive acquired from a
predecessor organization. The note, which matured on June 30, 2002, stipulated
that the balance could be settled in full by surrender of collateral consisting
of 125,000 shares of the Company's common stock, generating a charge equal to
the difference between the book value of the note and the closing market value
on June 30, 2002 of the 125,000 shares. Selling and administrative expenses for
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 also included $2.0 million of
year-to-date severance costs. Excluding these items, selling and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues increased to 29.7% for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2002 from 28.5% for the same period in 2001, also due
to increases in direct-response advertising and customer service costs. Selling
and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased in the Women's
Health segment during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2002 compared to the same periods of the prior year due to consolidation of
patient service centers.

The Company provides for estimated uncollectible accounts as revenues are
recognized. The three-month period ended September 30, 2002 includes an
additional one-time accrual of reserves of $2.0 million, which increased the
provision for doubtful accounts for both segments. As a result, the provision
for doubtful accounts as a percentage of revenues in the Health Enhancement
segment was increased to approximately 5% for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2002 compared to 2% for the same period of 2001. For this segment,
the provision for doubtful accounts as a percentage of revenues was
approximately 3% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 compared to
approximately 2% for the same period of 2001. The provision for doubtful
accounts as a percentage of revenues in the Women's Health segment was
approximately 6% for the three-month period ended September 20, 2002 compared to
5% for the same period of 2001. The provision for doubtful accounts as a
percentage of revenues for this segment was approximately 5% for the nine-month
periods of 2002 and 2001. The provision is adjusted periodically based upon the
Company's quarterly evaluation of historical collection experience, recoveries
of amounts previously provided, industry reimbursement trends, audit activity
and other relevant factors.


Amortization of intangible assets decreased in 2002 by $2.3 million for the
three-month period and $7.0 million for the nine-month period compared to 2001
due to the discontinuance of amortization of goodwill resulting from the
adoption of SFAS 142 in January 2002 (see "Recently Issued Accounting Standards"
below).

Net interest expense increased by $3.3 million, or 50%, for the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 due to a
higher average outstanding debt balance and higher interest rates resulting from
the 11% senior notes issued on July 9, 2001. The proceeds from this offering
were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Company's former bank
credit facility and to repurchase the subordinated acquisition notes, all shares
of preferred stock (and thereby eliminate their dividend requirements) and
common stock warrants. This increase is net of the benefit of $289,000 and $1.4
million, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods of 2002 and
$197,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods of 2001 from the interest
rate swap arrangements discussed below in "Liquidity and Capital Resources". The
weighted average interest rates (including amortization of debt discount and
expense and gains from terminated interest rate swap transactions) on
outstanding indebtedness for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and
2001 were 11.65% and 10.20%, respectively.

Other income (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2002
includes a charge of $692,000 to write-off unamortized loan origination costs
associated with the cancellation of the Company's former bank credit agreement
(see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below where the new facility is
discussed). Other income (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2001
included a $737,000 charge to reduce the carrying value amounts related to the
Company's split dollar life insurance program. This non-cash expense was the
result of declines in the stock market.

Loss from discontinued operations in the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, included charges (net of income taxes) of
$682,000 and $210,000, respectively, for the write-off and collections costs
related to the remaining accounts receivable from QDS.

Income tax (benefit) expense for the three-month and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 2002 reflect a lower benefit and a higher expense,
respectively, than the statutory tax rate due to various non-deductible
permanent differences.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2002, the Company had cash and short-term investments
of $5.5 million. Net cash provided by continuing operations was $15.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $8.6 million for the
same period of 2001. This increase in cash flows from continuing operations
resulted from improved cash flows related to decreases in accounts receivable
and increases in accounts payable and from proceeds related to the terminations
of two interest rate swap agreements. The Company's total accounts receivable
days' sales outstanding were 64 days' sales as of September 30, 2002, consisting
of 59 days' sales for the Health Enhancement segment and 73 days' sales for the
Women's Health segment. Lower net earnings (adjusted to exclude non-cash
charges) negatively impacted cash flows from continuing operations.


Effective August 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap
transaction with a bank involving a notional amount of $60 million. In June
2002, the Company terminated this agreement and received proceeds from the
counter party bank of approximately $2.4 million. At the same time, the Company
entered into a new interest rate swap arrangement with this bank in the notional
amount of $60 million. In August 2002, the Company terminated the June 2002
interest rate swap arrangement and received proceeds from the counter party bank
of approximately $700,000. The cash proceeds of $3.1 million from the second and
third quarter 2002 terminations of the interest rate swap agreements will be
amortized into income as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining term
of the senior notes (through May 2008). The Company is no longer a party to any
interest rate swap agreement or other hedge against changes in the fair value of
the Company's fixed rate debt obligation.

Net cash provided by discontinued operations of QDS was $517,000 and $2.4
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
These amounts represent collections of accounts receivable, less payments of
salary costs of personnel retained to collect the accounts receivable and other
accrued liabilities. As of September 30, 2002, the Company's balance sheet
reflected approximately $308,000 of accounts receivable that remain to be
collected.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $16.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2002 compared to net cash provided of $11.7 million
for the same period of 2001. The 2001 amount included $18.1 million of proceeds
from the sale of the business and certain assets of QDS and capital expenditures
of $6.4 million. The 2002 amount included $3.5 million for the acquisition of
businesses described below and $12.7 million of capital expenditures. Capital
expenditures in 2001 and 2002 related primarily to the replacement and
enhancement of computer information systems. The Company expects to expend a
total of approximately $15 million for capital items in 2002.

In February 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of
ChoicePoint Health Systems, Inc. ("ChoicePoint") for $650,000 in cash. In June
2002, the Company received $143,000 from ChoicePoint under a guarantee of
collection of acquired accounts receivable. In June 2002, the Company acquired
MarketRing. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and four other directors of
the Company were stockholders of MarketRing. The terms of the MarketRing
acquisition were negotiated by an independent committee of the Company's Board
of Directors and approved by the vote of the Company's disinterested directors.
The purchase price was paid by the issuance of approximately 296,000 shares of
common stock valued at approximately $3.8 million (based on the average closing
price of the Company's common stock during the three-day trading period ended
June 14, 2002). In addition, the Company may issue up to 21,500 shares of common
stock upon the exercise of MarketRing stock options assumed and a warrant issued
by the Company in connection with the acquisition. The Company recorded goodwill
of approximately $3.3 million related to this acquisition. However, at this
time, the Company has not completed its final assessment of the allocation of
the purchase price in order to determine whether a portion of the purchase price
may be allocated to identifiable intangible assets.

In April 2002, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to
acquire QO for approximately $20 million. On September 30, 2002, the Company
completed the acquisition of QO and paid $3 million (less previously paid
advances and deposits of $2 million) in cash and issued approximately 890,000
shares of common stock. The common stock is reflected on the Company's balance
sheet at September 30, 2002 at a price of $18.818 per share. The price is the
5-day average of the closing stock prices between June 3 and June 7, 2002, based
on a measurement date of June 5, which was the date that the closing stock price
fell below the $19.148 minimum price in the purchase and sale agreement and the
number of shares became fixed. Additional consideration will be paid in 2004
based upon 2003 operating results. Management currently estimates that the
additional consideration could be between $20 million and $30 million, although
the amount could be more or less depending on 2003 performance. The additional
consideration will be payable, at the Company's option, in cash, common stock or
a combination thereof, provided that the lesser of 20% of the payment or $10
million must be paid in cash. At September 30, 2002, the Company recorded
additional goodwill of $20.9 million in connection with this transaction.
However, at this time, the Company has not completed its final assessment of the
allocation of the purchase price in order to determine whether a portion of the
purchase price may be allocated to identifiable intangible assets.


For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, proceeds of $1.9 million were
received from participants under the Company's stock purchase and stock option
plans.

In September 2002, the Company terminated its revolving bank credit
facility. In October 2002, the Company entered into a new revolving credit
facility with a borrowing capacity of the lesser of $35 million or 80% of
eligible accounts receivable. The facility is collateralized by cash, accounts
receivable, inventories, intellectual property and certain other assets of the
Company. Borrowings under this agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus
2.9% and the facility requires a non-utilization fee of 0.5% of the unused
borrowing capacity. Interest and the commitment fee are payable monthly. The
facility has an initial two-year term. Thereafter, the term will be
automatically extended for annual successive periods unless either party
provides notice not less than 60 days prior to the end of the period.

The Company believes that its cash, other liquid assets, operating cash
flows and revolving credit facility, taken together, will provide adequate
resources to fund ongoing operating requirements and planned capital
expenditures.


Critical Accounting Estimates

A critical accounting estimate meets two criteria: (1) it requires
assumptions about highly uncertain matters; and (2) there would be a material
effect on the financial statements from either using a different, also
reasonable, amount within the range of the estimate in the current period or
from reasonably likely period-to-period changes in the estimate. The Company's
critical accounting estimates are as follows:

Revenue Recognition and Allowances for Uncollectible Accounts. Revenues for
the Women's Health segment are generated by providing services through patient
service centers. Revenues from these segments are recognized as the related
services are rendered and are net of contractual allowances and related
discounts. The Health Enhancement segment provides services through its patient
service centers, provides supplies to patients primarily on a mail-order basis,
and assembles, packages and distributes lancing products to original equipment
manufacturers. Revenues for services are recognized when services are provided
and revenues from product sales are recognized when products are shipped (at
which point risk of ownership passes to the customer). Revenues from this
segment are recorded net of contractual and other discounts.

The Company's clinical services and supply business are reimbursed on a
fee-for-service or per item basis. Other aspects of disease management, however,
are paid for primarily on the basis of monthly fees for each member of a health
plan identified with a particular chronic disease or condition under contract or
enrolled in the Company's program or on a case-rate basis. Some of the contracts
for these services provide that a portion of the Company's fees is at risk,
subject to the Company's performance against financial cost savings and clinical
criteria. Fees earned under these contracts are determined through periodic
settlements with the customer based on the Company's performance against these
criteria. Actual performance under the terms of these contracts is assessed
monthly and revenue is recognized on an estimated basis in the period the
services are provided. Monthly estimates of revenues do not attempt to predict
future changes in performance levels under these contracts. Currently, less than
5% of the Company's revenues are at risk under these arrangements on a
historical and pro forma basis.


A significant portion of the Company's revenues is billed to third-party
reimbursement sources. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial
portion of the Company's trade accounts receivable is susceptible to changes in
third-party reimbursement policies. A provision for doubtful accounts is made
for revenues estimated to be uncollectible and is adjusted periodically based
upon the Company's evaluation of current industry conditions, historical
collection experience, audit activity and other relevant factors which, in the
opinion of management, deserve recognition in estimating the allowance for
uncollectible accounts.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. See "Recently Issued Accounting
Standards" below for a description of two new accounting pronouncements which
have significantly changed the Company's accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets in 2002 and beyond. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had
unamortized goodwill of $131.3 million and unamortized intangible assets of $1.7
million, which represented 44% of total assets. Under the new accounting
standards, goodwill is no longer being amortized, but instead will be tested for
impairment at least annually. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized
over their respective estimated useful lives and will be reviewed periodically
for impairment.

In testing for impairment, the Company will evaluate the fair value of the
acquired companies to which the goodwill and other intangibles relate and
determine whether changed circumstances indicate that any portion of the
carrying value of the goodwill or other intangible assets may no longer be
recoverable.

Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using an
asset and liability approach. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax
consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates
applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and net
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Additionally, the effect on
deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period
that includes the enactment date.

The tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $340,000.
Cash outflows in the first nine months of 2002 for income taxes totaled
$657,000, being comprised of state and foreign taxes for jurisdictions where
prior years' net operating losses were not available. As of December 31, 2001,
the Company's remaining net operating losses of $49.3 million, the tax effect of
which is reflected in the deferred tax asset, will be available to offset future
tax liabilities. The Company must continually assess the realizability of the
recorded deferred tax asset. If, based on the weight of available evidence, it
is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all
of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, then a valuation allowance would
have to be recorded to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more
likely than not to be realized.

The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the
Company's accounting policies and estimates. In many cases, the accounting
treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by generally
accepted accounting principles, with no need for management's judgment in their
application. There are also areas in which management's judgment in selecting
any available alternative would not produce a materially different result.
Senior management periodically discusses the application and disclosure of these
critical accounting estimates with the audit committee of the board of
directors. See note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, which
contains additional accounting policies and other disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations
("SFAS 141") and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 requires that the purchase
method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June
30, 2001 and specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase method
business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from
goodwill. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at
least annually in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 142. SFAS 142 also
requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over
their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and
reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of ("SFAS 121").


The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 141 in 2001 and SFAS 142
effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 141 required, upon adoption of SFAS 142, that
the Company evaluate its existing goodwill and intangible assets that were
acquired in prior purchase business combinations and make any necessary
reclassifications in order to conform with the new criteria in SFAS 141 for
recognition apart from goodwill. Upon adoption of SFAS 142, the Company also was
required to reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible
assets acquired and to make any necessary amortization period adjustments.

As of January 1, 2002, the date of adoption of SFAS 142, the Company
had unamortized goodwill of $107.5 million and unamortized identifiable
intangible assets of $2.1 million, all of which were subject to the transition
provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142. During the first quarter of 2002, the
Company evaluated the fair values of the business segments identified under the
provisions of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 and concluded that no impairment of recorded
goodwill exists. As a result, no amortization of goodwill was recorded for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002. Amortization expense related to goodwill
was $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Also, the Company
reassessed the useful lives, residual values and classification of identifiable
intangible assets and determined that they continue to be appropriate.
Amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets was $420,000 for
both the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB
Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections ("SFAS 145"). SFAS 145 rescinds FASB
Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an
amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made
to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. It also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44,
Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. SFAS 145 amends FASB
Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between
the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required
accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are
similar to sale-leaseback transactions. It also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS 145 had
no impact on the Company's financial statements.


In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities ("SFAS
146"). SFAS 146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs
associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task
Force Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination
Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred
in a Restructuring) ("Issue 94-3"). The principal difference between SFAS 146
and Issue 94-3 relates to its requirements for recognition of a liability for a
cost associated with an exit or disposal activity. This Statement requires that
a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an
exit cost as defined in Issue 94-3 was recognized at the date of an entity's
commitment to an exit plan. A fundamental conclusion reached by the FASB in SFAS
146 is that an entity's commitment to a plan, by itself, does not create a
present obligation to others that meets the definition of a liability.
Therefore, SFAS 146 eliminates the definition and requirements for recognition
of exit costs in Issue 94-3. It also establishes that fair value is the
objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS 146
are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December
31, 2002, with early application encouraged.

filings it makes with the SEC under federal securities laws.



Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from foreign exchange rates. The
Company's non-U.S. operations with sales denominated in other than U.S. dollars
(primarily in Germany) generated approximately 14% of total revenues in the nine
months ended September 30, 2002. In the normal course of business, these
operations are exposed to fluctuations in currency values. Management does not
consider the impact of currency fluctuations to represent a significant risk,
and as such has chosen not to hedge its foreign currency exposure. A 10% change
in the dollar exchange rate of the euro would impact annual pre-tax earnings by
approximately $375,000.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company's Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such
term is defined in Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of a date within
90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation
Date"). Based on such evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of
the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in alerting them on a timely basis to material information
relating to the Company (including the Company's consolidated subsidiaries)
required to be included in the Company's reports filed or submitted under
the Exchange Act.


(b) Changes in Internal Controls. Since the Evaluation Date, there have not been
any significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect such controls.







PART II--OTHER INFORMATION


Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

On June 14, 2002, in connection with the acquisition of MarketRing, the
Company issued 295,787 shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase an
additional 107 shares of common stock. The common stock and the warrant were
issued to various MarketRing stockholders and a MarketRing warrant holder in
exchange for MarketRing stock and a MarketRing warrant. Approximately 28,363
shares out of the total number of shares issued in connection with the
acquisition of MarketRing are being held in escrow for a period of one year
after the closing as security for the indemnification obligations of MarketRing.
The exercise price of the warrant issued was set at $24.50 per share, which
price, as well as the total number of shares set forth therein, are subject to
adjustment under certain circumstances, including upon release of the escrowed
shares. The issuance of the common stock and the warrant was exempt from
registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act ("Regulation D"). The recipients of
the Company's common stock and the warrant were accredited investors as that
term is defined in Regulation D and are aware of the limitations on resale as
set forth in Rule 502(d) of Regulation D.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

The directors of the Company are divided into three classes. The class
comprised of Jackie M. Ward and Frederick P. Zuspan, M.D. will continue to serve
until the 2003 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are
elected and qualified. The class comprised of Parker H. Petit, Jeffrey D.
Koepsell, Donald W. Weber and Morris S. Weeden will continue to serve until the
2004 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and
qualified.

At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held September 26,
2002 ("the Meeting"), the following directors were elected, each of whom will
serve until the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors
are elected and qualified:
