NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the MIM Corporation ("MIM") and Subsidiaries (collectively with MIM,
the "Company") audited consolidated financial statements, notes and information included in MIM's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 (the "Form 10-K") filed with the
Commission. The audited condsolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principals generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") 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 and footnotes required by GAAP 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
months ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2003. The accounting policies followed for interim financial reporting
are similar to those disclosed in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
