Item 5.  Other Events
         ------------

         At the Board of Directors meeting held on October 9, 1998, Dr. Walter
A. Fox and Mr. Mark K. Gerstenfeld were nominated and elected to the Board. As
noted in the Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc.'s (the "Company") Form 10-KSB
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, Dr. Fox has been in private practice
since 1997. From 1994 to 1997, Dr. Fox was practicing internal medicine for the
Lake Hospital System based in Gainesville, Ohio. From 1992 to 1994, Dr. Fox
served as Medical Director of Southern Community Medical Center in Ft.
Lauderdale. Mr. Gerstenfeld has served from October of 1996 to present as an
advisor to the Company. Since 1986, Mr. Gerstenfeld has served as Vice President
of Sales at Action West in New York, NY. Action West is an apparel products
distributor with approximately $60 million in annual sales.

         As previously reported in the Company's Form 10-KSB, Robert Kagan
resigned as a member of the Board of Directors effective October 9, 1998,
without giving the Company a reason for the resignation pursuant to Notice
thereof, a copy of which is attached hereto. Subsequently, on November 18, 1998,
the Company received another letter (the "November Letter") from Robert Kagan,
which letter specifically requested the Company to file a copy of the November
Letter with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the General
Instructions provided in connection with filing current reports on Form 8-K. The
Company has determined that the November Letter will not be filed because (i)
the November Letter was not timely filed; (ii) substantially all of the
information set forth in the November Letter has already been included in the
Company's Form 10-KSB and Form 10-KSB-A for the year ended June 30, 1998; and
(iii) the November Letter was sent in bad faith. Based on the foregoing, the
Company is not filing a copy of the November Letter herewith.

         On November 6, 1998, the Company received notification by letter that
Mr. Roman Fisher resigned as Executive Vice President. The Company is currently
in negotiations with Mr. Fisher regarding a separation agreement.

Dear Mr. Guillama:


This is written confirmation of my resignation as an officer and director of
Metropolitan Health Networks, Inc. (the "Company"). I attended the last board
meeting of the Company on Friday, October 9, 1998 telephonically. At the end of
that meeting, I informed you and all who were in attendance of my resignation,
although I would continue on in my capacity as medical director of the MRI Scan
Center.

Please make certain that the corporate records accurately reflect that as of
October 9, 1998, I was no longer an officer or director of the Company.


Sincerely,


/s/ Robert L. Kagan, M.D.
