COVENTRY HEALTH CARE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

A.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The condensed consolidated financial statements of Coventry Health Care, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“Coventry” or the “Company”) contained in this report are unaudited but reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods reflected. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted pursuant to applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for the interim periods reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 2002.

B.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued two standards related to business combinations. The first statement, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141 - “Business Combinations,” requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method and prohibits the pooling-of-interest method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 also states that acquired intangible assets should be separately recognized upon meeting certain criteria. Such intangible assets include, but are not limited to, trade and service marks, non-compete agreements, customer lists and licenses. The Company was not significantly affected by the implementation of this statement.

        The second statement, SFAS No. 142 - “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” requires companies to cease amortization of goodwill. Rather, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite lives will be subject to a periodic assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. Impairment charges may result in future write-downs in the period in which the impairment took place. As required, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002, and, accordingly, goodwill was not amortized during 2002.

C.   INTANGIBLE ASSETS

        Goodwill and other intangible assets consist of costs in excess of the fair value of the net tangible assets of subsidiaries or operations acquired through September 30, 2002.

Goodwill

        As described in the Company’s segment disclosure, assets are not allocated to specific products, and, accordingly, goodwill can not be reported by segment. As required by SFAS No. 142 the Company completed its initial impairment test of goodwill by June 30, 2002 and has determined that there was no impairment of goodwill as of January 1, 2002. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were as follows (in thousands):

Balance as of December 31, 2001 $ 237,392 
     Acquisition of NewAlliance Health Plan, Inc. 6,484 
     Transition cost adjustments (130)
     Impairment loss -    

Balance as of September 30, 2002 $ 243,746

D.   ACQUISITIONS

        On May 1, 2002, the Company’s subsidiary, HealthAmerica Pennsylvania, Inc., completed its acquisition of NewAlliance Health Plan, Inc. (“NewAlliance”) in Erie, Pennsylvania. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the operating results of NewAlliance have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The purchase price for NewAlliance was allocated to the assets, including identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values. NewAlliance had 46,226 commercial and self-funded members and served the northwestern Pennsylvania market.

        On September 16, 2002, Coventry announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Mid-America Health Partners Inc. (“Mid-America”), a Kansas City, Missouri based HMO and PPO rental network. Mid-America has approximately 54,000 fully-insured commercial, 43,000 self-funded, 23,000 Medicare+Choice, and 130,000 rental PPO members. The Mid-America Medicare+Choice contract terminates December 31, 2002. Current Mid-America Medicare+Choice members may enroll in Coventry’s existing product in the Kansas City market.
