Description of Exhibit

Press Release issued by MIM Corporation on April 29, 2004

Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The press release dated April 29, 2004 identified in Exhibit 99.1, and which announces earnings for our first quarter, includes "non-GAAP financial meaures" as defined by SEC rules.

The Reconciliation Table presented in our first quarter 2004 press release demonstrates the differences between the non-GAAP financial measures and the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. As required by Regulation G, the Company has provided a quantitative comparison between the GAAP and disclosed non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures presented provide important insight into our ongoing operations and a meaningful comparison of revenue, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expenses, operating income, net income and earnings per share.

We believe that meaningful analysis of our financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance and our judgments about the likelihood that particular factors will repeat. For that reason, we believe that investors may find it useful to see the financial results without the effects of the lost TennCare PBM and Synagis business so that they may evaluate the Company's business comparatively while giving consistent effect to material occurrences.


SIGNATURES

      Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized.
