MIM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)

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 Form 10-K. These accounting policies are described further below:

Consolidation

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MIM and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

          Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits, overnight investments and money market accounts with maturities of 90 days or less.

Receivables

          Receivables include amounts due from plan sponsors under the Company's PBM contracts, amounts due from pharmaceutical manufacturers for rebates, service fees resulting from the distribution of certain drugs through retail pharmacies and amounts due from certain third party payors.

Inventory

          Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory consists principally of purchased prescription drugs.

Claims Payable

          The Company is responsible for covered prescriptions provided to plan members during the contract period. Claims payable includes estimates of certain prescriptions that were dispensed to members for whom the related claims had not yet been submitted.

Payables to Plan Sponsors

          Payables to plan sponsors represent the sharing of pharmaceutical rebates with the plan sponsors and, on a limited basis, profit sharing plans with certain capitated contracts.

          The Company estimates the portion of those pharmacy rebates that are shared with plan sponsors and adjusts pharmacy rebates payable to plan sponsors when the amounts are paid typically on a quarterly basis, or as significant events occur. These estimates are accrued periodically based on actual and estimated claims data and agreed upon contractual rebate sharing rates. The Company records any cumulative effect of these adjustments against costs as identified, and adjusts its estimates prospectively to consider recurring matters. Adjustments generally result from contract modifications with clients, differences between the estimated and actual product mix subject to rebates or whether the product was included in the applicable formulary.


Page 5



Revenue Recognition

          The Company generates revenue principally through the sale of prescription drugs which are dispensed either through a pharmacy participating in the Company's retail pharmacy network or a pharmacy owned by the Company. Revenue is derived under two types of agreements: (i) fee-for-service agreements, which accounted for approximately 91% of the Company's revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2003, and (ii) capitated agreements, which accounted for approximately 9%, or $15,202, of the Company's revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2003.

          Fee-For-Service Agreements.      Fee-for-service agreements include (i) specialty and mail service agreements, where the Company dispenses prescription medications through its own pharmacy facilities and (ii) PBM agreements, where prescription medications are dispensed through pharmacies participating in the Company's retail pharmacy network. Under fee-for-service agreements, revenue is recognized either (a) when the pharmacy services are reported to the Company through the point of sale ("POS") claims processing system and the drug is dispensed to the member, in the case of a prescription filled through a pharmacy participating in the Company's retail pharmacy network, or (b) at the time the drug is dispensed, in the case of a prescription filled through a pharmacy owned by the Company.

          Gross Vs. Net Revenue Recognition For Certain PBM Contracts.     Revenue generated under PBM agreements is classified as gross or net by the Company based on whether it is acting as a principal or agent in the fulfillment of prescriptions through its retail pharmacy network. In making this determination, the Company evaluates each contract using the indicators set forth in Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19 "Reporting Gross Revenue as a Principal vs. Net as an Agent" ("EITF 99-19"). When the Company independently has a contractual obligation to pay a network pharmacy provider for benefits provided to its plan sponsors members, and has other indicators of risk and reward, the Company includes payments from these plan sponsors as revenue and payments to the network pharmacy providers as cost of revenue ('gross') in accordance with EITF 99-19, as these transactions require the Company to assume credit risk and act as a principal. If the Company was merely administering plan sponsors' network pharmacy contracts in which the Company does not assume credit risk, but acts as an agent, the Company records only the administrative or dispensing fees as revenue ('net').

          Capitated Agreements.      The Company's capitated contracts with plan sponsors require the Company to provide covered pharmacy services to plan sponsor members in return for a fixed fee per Member per month paid by the plan Sponsor. Capitated contracts have terms varying from six months to three years. At such time as management estimates that a contract will sustain losses over its remaining contractual life, a reserve is established for these estimated losses. There are currently no expected loss contracts.

          Co-payments.       When prescriptions are filled and the Company is the participating pharmacy, the Company is entitled to receive co-payments from its members and record these co-payments as revenue when the amounts are deemed collectible and reasonably estimable. When prescriptions are filled through its retail pharmacy networks, the Company is not entitled to these amounts and does not account for co-payments in its financial statements as these amounts are never billed or collected by the Company and it has no legal right or obligation to co-payments collected by the pharmacies in its retail network.

Cost of Revenue

          Cost of revenue includes pharmacy claims, fees paid to pharmacies and other direct costs associated with pharmacy management, claims processing operations and mail order services, offset by volume rebates received from pharmaceutical manufacturers. The Company does not maintain cost of revenue information with respect to product sales.

Income Taxes

          The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, and deferred taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at currently enacted tax laws and rates.


Page 6



Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

          The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

          The Company accounts for employee stock based compensation plans and non-employee director stock incentive plans in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). Stock options granted to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", as well as Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued To Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or In Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services" ("EITF 96-18").

           The fair value of the Company's compensation cost for stock option plans for employees and directors, had it been determined, in accordance with SFAS 123, would have been as follows for the three months ended:


  Three Months Ended March 31,

      2003 2002

      Diluted - pro forma     $ 0.12   $ 0.18  


          As pro forma compensation expense for options granted is recorded over the vesting period, future pro forma compensation expense may be greater as additional options are granted.

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITIONS

          On January 31, 2002, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Vitality Home Infusion Services, Inc. ("Vitality"). Vitality is a New York-based provider of specialty pharmaceutical services. Vitality provides such services on a national basis to chronically ill and genetically impaired patients, particularly focusing on oncology, infectious disease, immunology and rheumatory disease.

          The aggregate purchase price for Vitality was $46,416 (including $1,416 in transaction costs), payable $35,000 in cash and 612,419 shares of MIM common stock valued on the closing date at $10,355, including 20,002 shares of common stock, valued at $355, as part of MIM's transaction costs. The common stock of MIM was valued using the average market price for the twenty consecutive trading days prior to the date of the purchase agreement. The purchase price for Vitality has been allocated to assets and liabilities based on management's best estimates of fair value and based on a final valuation performed by an independent outside valuation firm.


Page 9



NOTE 5 - TENNCARE(R) RESERVE ADJUSTMENTS

          There were no TennCare(R) reserve adjustments in the current quarter of 2003. The TennCare(R) reserve adjustment of $851 in the first quarter of 2002 was a result of the collection of receivables from Xantus Healthplans of Tennessee, Inc., which were previously reserved.


NOTE 6 - TREASURY STOCK

          On February 27, 2003, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $10 million of its Common Stock in open market or private transactions. As of March 31, 2003, the Company has repurchased 799,893 shares of its Common Stock in the open market at an aggregate purchase price of $5.1 million.


NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

          On May 14, 2003, E. David Corvese, founder and a former Director of the Company, filed a suit against the Company in Delaware Chancery Court seeking indemnification of $2.4 million he paid to settle certain claims and charges of the federal government and State of Tennessee. He also seeks a declaration that he is not obligated to repay the Company for legal fees, costs and expenses previously advanced to him to defend those claims and charges. MIM intends to defend the suit vigorously and to assert several substantive defenses. The Company believes that the resolution of the suit will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

          The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest relate primarily to the Company's debt. At March 31, 2003 the Company did not have any long-term debt. The Company does not invest in, or otherwise use, derivative financial instruments.

          At March 31, 2003, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, claims payable, payables to Plan Sponsors and others, and debt approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

          Because management does not believe that it's exposure to interest rate market risk is material at this time, the Company has not developed or implemented a strategy to manage this market risk through the use of derivative financial instruments or otherwise. The Company will assess the significance of interest rate market risk from time to time and will develop and implement strategies to manage that market risk as appropriate.

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

          Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures has been evaluated within 90 days of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and, based on that evaluation the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of that evaluation.

Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

Page 3



beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (x) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owners, if any, and (y) the class and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owners, if any.

                                      (3)     Notwithstanding anything in the second sentence of paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 2.09 to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 2.09 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

                           (b)     Special Meetings of Stockholders.

                                     (3)     To be timely, a stockholder’s notice referred to in Section 2.09(b)(2) must have been delivered to the secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the 90th day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement is made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owners, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, (x) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owners, if any, and (y) the class and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owners, if any.

         Section  3.04.    Direction of Management.     The business of the Corporation shall be managed under the direction of its Board of Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or by these By-Laws directed or required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

         Section  3.05.    Place of Meetings.    The Board of Directors of the Corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware.

         Section  3.06.    Annual Meeting.    Immediately after each annual election of directors, the Board of Directors shall meet for the purpose of organization, election of officers, and the transaction of other business, at the place where such election of directors was held or, if notice of such meeting is given, at the place specified in such notice. Notice of such meeting need not be given. In the absence of a quorum at said meeting, the same may be held at any other time and place which shall be specified in a notice given as hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors, or as shall be specified in a written waiver signed by the directors, if any, not attending and participating in the meeting.

         Section  3.07.    Regular Meetings.    Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board.

The act of a majority of the directors present at any meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof at which there is a quorum present shall be the act of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

Page 6



         Section  3.10.    Action Without a Meeting.     Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.

         Section  3.11.    Participation in Meetings.     One or more directors may participate in any meeting of the Board or committee thereof by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating can hear each other.

The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution, shall have and may exercise all of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it, but no such committee shall have the power or authority in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation (except that a committee may, to the extent authorized in the resolution providing for the issuance of shares of stock adopted by the Board of Directors, fix any preferences or rights of such shares relating to dividends, redemption, dissolution, any distribution of assets of the Corporation or the conversion into, or the exchange of such shares for, shares of any other class or classes or any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the Corporation), adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution, or amending the By-Laws of the Corporation; and, unless the resolution expressly so provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend, to authorize the issuance of stock, or to adopt a certificate of ownership and merger. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of Directors when requested.

         Section  3.13.    Compensation of Directors.     Each director shall be entitled to receive such compensation, if any, as may from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings. Directors may also be reimbursed by the Corporation for all reasonable expenses incurred in traveling to and from the place of each meeting of the Board or of any such committee or otherwise incurred in the performance of their duties as directors. No payment referred to herein shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
