Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On May 1, 2001, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
and the business of MDP Corporation ("MDP"), a privately-owned Atlanta-based
electronic claim clearinghouse and patient statement processor based in Atlanta,
Georgia, for $10 million cash. The transaction required that ProxyMed pay $3
million at closing and execute a $7 million promissory note payable in 12
months. Interest on this note is payable monthly at 7% simple interest. The note
is collateralized by the assets of MDP. The acquisition will be accounted for as
a purchase and is expected to result in goodwill of approximately $9 million.

          cash flows of MDP Corporation as of December 31, 2000 and for the year
