Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

"Covered Persons") to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and The
NASDAQ Stock Market, within specified time periods, initial reports of
beneficial ownership, and subsequent reports of changes in ownership, of certain
equity securities of MIM. Based solely on its review of copies of such reports
furnished to it and upon written representations of Covered Persons that no
other reports were required, other than as described below, MIM believes that
all such filing requirements applicable to Covered Persons with respect to all

filed.

In May 1996, Mr. Corvese granted to Messrs. Klein and Friedman options to

These options are immediately exercisable and have a term of ten years, subject
to earlier termination upon certain mergers or consolidations of MIM or the sale
or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of MIM ("Change
of Control"). On January 26, 1998, Messrs. Klein and Friedman fully exercised
their respective aforesaid options utilizing personal funds. By reason of said
option exercises, a change of control of MIM was effected to the extent that the
percentage of the voting securities of MIM legally owned by Mr. Corvese
decreased from 46.0% to 21.2% (or from 50.9% to 28.4%, assuming the exercise by
Mr. Corvese of his outstanding options), while the percentage legally owned by
Messrs. Klein and Friedman increased from 0% to 13.5% and 11.2%, respectively
(or 12.3% and 10.2%, respectively, assuming the exercise by Mr. Corvese of his
outstanding options).
Mr. Corvese also granted to Mr. Klein an additional option to purchase
1,860,000 shares owned by Mr. Corvese (the "Additional Option"). The Additional
Option has a term of ten years, subject to earlier termination upon a Change in
Control of MIM or within certain specified periods following Mr. Klein's death,
disability or termination of employment for any reason. The Additional Option
becomes exercisable in installments of 620,000 shares each commencing on
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively, and is immediately exercisable
upon the approval of a Change of Control by the MIM Board and, if required,
stockholders.
In addition, Mr. Corvese and certain people and entities affiliated with
him have entered into a voting agreement with MIM. Under the voting agreement,
MIM will vote their respective shares of MIM Common Stock in favor of the
proposal to approve the issuance of MIM Common Stock in connection with the
Merger.
Compensation of Directors
Directors who are not officers of MIM ("Outside Directors") receive fees
of $1,500 per month and $500 per meeting of the MIM Board and any committee
thereof and are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with attending
such meetings. In addition, each Outside Director joining MIM since the adoption
of MIM's 1996 Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive plan (the "Directors Plan")
receives options to purchase 20,000 shares of MIM Common Stock under that plan.
Directors who are also officers of MIM are not paid any director fees.
The Directors Plan was adopted in July 1996 to attract and retain
qualified individuals to serve as non-employee directors of MIM, to provide
incentives and rewards to such directors and to associate more closely the
interests of such directors with those of MIM's stockholders. The Directors Plan
provides for the automatic grant of non-qualified stock options to purchase
20,000 shares of MIM Common Stock to non-employee directors joining MIM since
the adoption of the Directors Plan. The exercise price of such options is equal
to the fair market value of the MIM Common Stock on the date of grant. Options
granted under the Directors Plan generally vest over three years. A reserve of
100,000 shares of MIM Common Stock has been established for issuance under the
Directors Plan. Through May 15, 1998, options to purchase 20,000 shares have
been granted under the Directors plan to each of Messrs. Luzzi and Yablon at an
exercise price of $13 per share and options to purchase 20,000 shares had been
granted under the Directors Plan to Mr. Cirillo at an exercise price of $4.35
per share.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Compensation Committee of the MIM Board administers MIM's stock
incentive plans and makes recommendations to the MIM Board regarding executive
officer compensation matters, including policies regarding the relationship of
corporate performance and other factors to executive compensation. During 1997,
the members of the Committee were Messrs. Luzzi and Yablon.
At December 31, 1997, Mr. and Mrs. Corvese were indebted to MIM in the
amount of $978,750 respecting loans received from MIM in June 1994 and amended
in June 1997 in said amount. The loans bear interest at 7.125% per annum, with
interest payable monthly and principal payable in full on or before June 15,
2000, and are secured by a first mortgage on the Corveses' principal residence.
Compensation Committee Report On Executive Compensation
Prior to March 1997, there was no committee of the MIM Board responsible
for establishing or recommending compensation policies applicable to MIM's
executive officers. The compensation to executive officers for 1996 and 1997 was
determined by negotiation between MIM and the executive officers and is set
forth in the executive officers' respective employment agreements with MIM
described below. As such, other than Mr. Posner's salary increase described
below, executive compensation during 1997 was not performance based. Since then,
the Compensation Committee has been delegated responsibilities regarding
executive compensation matters. See "Compensation Committee Interlocks and
Insider Participation."
Employment Agreements
In May 1996, Messrs. Klein, Corvese and Friedman entered into executive
employment agreements with MIM which provide for initial base salaries at
annualized rates of $325,000, $325,000 and $275,000, respectively, and certain
fringe benefits including automobile and life insurance allowances. Such
executives are (or were) also eligible to participate in an executive bonus
program for senior executive officers. The term of employment is four years,
subject to earlier termination by either party. If employment is terminated
early due to disability, or by MIM without cause, or by the executive with
cause, MIM is obligated to continue to pay his salary and provide fringe
benefits for twelve months following termination. During the term of employment
and for one year after the later of termination of severance payments (unless
MIM terminates the executive without cause) or employment, the executive may
not, directly or indirectly, participate in the United States (other than with
MIM) in the pharmacy benefit management business, any business then being
engaged in by MIM or any component of any such business, nor may the executive
induce any customers to take actions disadvantageous to MIM. In June 1997, Mr.
Palmieri terminated his employment agreement and resigned as a director and
officer. On March 31, 1998, Mr. Corvese terminated his employment agreement and
resigned as an officer and employee of MIM. In addition, Mr. Corvese agreed not
to stand for re-election as a director of MIM.
Effective March 1997, Mr. Posner entered into an executive employment
agreement with MIM which provides for an initial base salary at an annualized
rate of $165,000 (increasing to $175,000 after three months based upon a
favorable review by the Chief Operating Officer), options to purchase 50,000
shares of MIM Common Stock at the then current fair market value, and certain
fringe benefits including life insurance and eligibility for participation in
MIM's executive bonus program. The agreement continues until terminated by
either party. If employment is terminated due to disability, or by MIM without
cause, or by Mr. Posner with cause, MIM is obligated to continue to pay his
salary and provide fringe benefits for nine months following termination. If Mr.
Posner ceases to serve as General Counsel or is assigned a position which
principally has business responsibilities, thereafter he is subject to
restrictions on competition similar to those applying to the other above-listed
executive officers.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
At December 31, 1997, Alchemie Properties, LLC, a Rhode Island limited
liability company of which Mr. Corvese is the manager and principal owner
("Alchemie"), was indebted to MIM in the amount of $280,629 respecting a loan
received from MIM in 1994 in the original principal amount of $299,000. The loan
bears interest at 10% per annum, with interest payable monthly and principal
payable in full on or before December 1, 2004, and is secured by a lien on
Alchemie's rental income.
During 1997, MIM paid $136,582 in rent to Alchemie pursuant to a ten-year
lease entered into in December 1994 for approximately 7,200 square feet of
office space in Peace Dale, Rhode Island.
At December 31, 1997, MIM Holdings, LLC ("MIM Holdings") was indebted to
MIM in the amount of $456,000 respecting loans received from MIM during 1995 in
the aggregate principal amount of $1,078,000. MIM holds a $456,000 promissory
note from MIM Holdings due March 31, 2001 that bears interest at 10% per annum.
Interest generally is payable quarterly, although in December 1996 the note was
amended to extend the due date to September 30, 1997 for all interest accruing
from January 1, 1996 to said date. This note is guaranteed by Mr. Corvese and
further secured by the assignment to MIM of a $100,000 promissory note that was
originally given by an MIM officer to MIM Holdings. The remaining $622,000 of
indebtedness will not be repaid and was recorded as a stockholder distribution
during the first half of 1996.
At December 31, 1997, MIM Holdings paid off a $99,000 loan received from
MIM during the first half of 1996. Originally scheduled to be repaid by
September 30, 1996 without interest, the $86,000 principal amount outstanding at
December 31, 1996 had been rescheduled to be due and payable on September 30,
1997 together with 10% interest accruing on the unpaid balance since September
30, 1996 pursuant to an unsecured promissory note.
Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this report to
be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
