THE COMPANY
The Company is a physician-driven, integrated medical management company
that provides management services to the medical community. The Company also
provides real estate development and consulting services to related and
unrelated third parties for the development of medical malls, medical office
buildings, and health parks. The Company's primary strategy is to develop
management networks in specific geographic locations by affiliating with
physicians, medical providers and medical networks. The Company affiliates with
physicians by acquiring their practices and entering into long-term management
agreements with the acquired practices and by managing independent physician
associations and specialty care physician networks through management service
organizations in which the Company has ownership interests. The Company also
provides ancillary services including radiation therapy, diagnostic imaging,
infusion therapy, home healthcare, lithotripsy services, ambulatory surgery and
clinical research studies.
The Company's principal place of business is 777 South Flagler Drive, West
Palm Beach, Florida 33401; and its telephone number at that address is (561)
655-3500. Unless otherwise indicated or required by the context, references to
the "Company" include its consolidated subsidiaries.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Company has decided, effective February 1, 1998, to change its policies
regarding amortization of its management service agreement intangible assets.
The Company is adopting a maximum of 25 years as the useful life for
amortization of its management service agreement intangible assets. These costs
have historically been charged to expense through amortization using the
straight line method over the periods during which the agreements are effective,
generally 30 to 40 years.
This change represents a change in accounting estimate and, accordingly,
does not require the Company to restate reported results for prior years. The
Company expects this estimate change to increase amortization expense relating
to existing intangible assets at January 31, 1998, by approximately $185,000
per quarter.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The Shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholders are not
being sold by the Company, and the Company will not receive any proceeds of the
sale thereof.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The names of the Selling Stockholders, the number of shares of Common
Stock which may be offered from time to time by them under this Prospectus and
information concerning any material relationships between the Company and the
Selling Stockholders will be set forth as required in Supplements to this
Prospectus or amendments to the Registration Statement. The Company issued or
agreed to issue the shares of Common Stock offered under this Prospectus in
connection with business acquisitions or physician practice affiliations
previously completed by the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" incorporated herein by
reference to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1998 for a description of such acquisitions and affiliations.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of the Shares offered
hereby from time to time on any exchange on which the securities are listed on
terms to be determined at the times of such sales. The Selling Stockholders may
also make private sales directly or through a broker or brokers. Alternatively,
any of the Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer the Shares
beneficially owned by them through underwriters, dealers or agents, who may
receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, commissions or
concessions from the Selling Stockholders and the purchasers of the Shares for
whom they may act as agent.
To the extent required, the aggregate principal amount of the Shares to be
sold hereby, the names of the Selling Stockholders, the purchase price, the
name of any such agent, dealer or underwriter and any applicable commissions,
3
<PAGE>
discounts or other terms constituting compensation with respect to a particular
offer will be set forth in any accompanying Prospectus Supplement. The
aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the Shares
offered by them hereby will be the purchase price of such Shares less discounts
and commissions, if any.
The Shares which may be offered hereby may be sold from time to time in
one or more transactions at fixed offering prices, which may be changed, or at
varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. Such
prices will be determined by the holders of the Shares or by agreement between
such holders and underwriters or dealers who receive fees or commissions in
connection therewith. In order to comply with the securities laws of certain
states, if applicable, the Shares offered hereby will be sold in such
jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers, agent or underwriters
that participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of the
Shares offered hereby may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
the Securities Act, in which event any commissions or discounts received by
such broker-dealers, agents or underwriters and any profit on the resale of the
Shares offered hereby and purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
The Company is paying all expenses incident to the offer and sale of the
Shares offered hereby by the Selling Stockholders to the public, other than
selling commissions and fees.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters in connection with the shares of Common Stock being
offered hereby will be passed upon by Nutter, McClennen & Fish, LLP, Boston,
Massachusetts, counsel to the Company.
EXPERTS
The consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 1998 and January
31, 1997 and the consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders'
equity and cash flows from the years ended January 31, 1998 and 1997, and the

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section 145 of
the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, which provides that a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and
in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 145 further provides that a corporation similarly may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except
that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter
as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery
or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon
application that, despite an adjudication of liability, but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper. The Company's Certificate of Incorporation further provides
that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the full extent
permitted by the law of the State of Delaware.
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company's
directors shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent that
exculpation from liability is not permitted under the Delaware General
Corporation Law as in effect at the time such liability is determined.
The Company maintains an indemnification insurance policy covering all
directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Item 17. Undertakings
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted against such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof;
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering; and
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that
is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.
