                                     COMPANY

     The Company is a pharmacy  management  organization  that  provides a broad
range of services to the pharmaceutical health care industry designed to promote
the  cost-effective  delivery  of pharmacy  benefits to the public.  The Company
targets  organizations  involved in three key  industry  segments -- sponsors of
public  and  private   health  plans  (such  as  HMOs  and  other  managed  care
organizations),   retail   pharmacies  and   pharmaceutical   manufacturers  and
distributors  -- and offers  services  providing  financial  benefits to each of
them.  The Company works with plan sponsors and local health care  professionals
to design,  implement and manage innovative  pharmacy benefit management ("PBM")
programs to control  pharmacy benefit costs under the plans,  primarily  through
financial risk sharing arrangements and clinically  appropriate  substitution of
generic drugs for equivalent but more  expensive  brand name drugs.  The Company
offers  suppliers of generic  drugs the  potential to increase  sales and market
share through "preferred generic" marketing programs to participating pharmacies
and  increases in generic  drug  utilization  encouraged  by the  Company's  PBM
programs. In turn, retail pharmacies receive financial incentives for supporting
the Company's PBM and preferred  generics  programs as well as discounts on drug
purchases and other management and support services.

     The Company was  incorporated  in Delaware in March 1996 for the purpose of
combining  the  businesses  and  operations of Pro-Mark  Holdings,  Inc. and MIM
Strategic  Marketing,  LLC,  which  became  100%  and  90%  owned  subsidiaries,
respectively,  of the  Company in May 1996.  The Company  completed  its initial
public offering in August 1996. The Company's  principal  executive  offices are
located at One Blue Hill Plaza,  Pearl River,  New York 10965, and its telephone
number is (914) 735-3555.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     An investment in the Common Stock offered hereby  involves a high degree of
risk.  Prospective  investors  should  consider  carefully  the  following  risk
factors,  in addition to the other  information  contained  in this  Prospectus,
including  documents  incorporated  herein by reference,  before  purchasing the
securities offered hereby.

Limited Operating History; Risk of Managing Growth

     The Company  commenced  its  operations  in June 1993 and has had a limited
operating  history.  There can be no assurance  that the Company will be able to
continue to expand its market  presence  in current  locations  or  successfully
enter other markets.  Further, in order to manage growth effectively the Company
will  need to  continue  to  improve  its  systems  and hire,  train and  manage
additional employees. If the Company is unable to manage its growth effectively,
the Company's business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Dependence on RxCare Relationship

     The  Company  has  derived  most  of its  revenue  to date  pursuant  to an
agreement  with  RxCare of  Tennessee,  Inc.  ("RxCare"),  a  pharmacy  services
administrative  organization  owned  by the  Tennessee  Pharmacists  Association
representing  approximately  1,200 retail  pharmacies  in  Tennessee.  Under the
RxCare  agreement,  the  Company is  obligated  to operate  and manage  pharmacy
benefit  programs for health plan sponsors that have entered into contracts with
RxCare for such services.  RxCare reasonably may decline to execute any contract
with  plan  sponsors  or  pharmacies,  or  any  amendment  or  renewal  thereof,
negotiated  by the Company on behalf of RxCare.  A number of RxCare's  contracts
with  plan  sponsors  are for  providing  state-mandated  pharmacy  benefits  to
formerly  Medicaid-eligible  (as  well as  certain  uninsured  and  uninsurable)
Tennessee  residents under the TennCare program,  a so-called  "Medicaid waiver"
state health program.  Revenues from three of such TennCare contracts  accounted
for  approximately  76% of the  Company's  revenues  during  1996.  The  Company
believes that the loss of its arrangement  with RxCare,  the loss of one or more
of such contracts,  the termination or expiration of the TennCare program (which
is  currently  scheduled  to expire on December 31, 1998) or the loss of funding
thereunder  would have a material  adverse effect on the Company's  business and
results of operations.


                                        3


<PAGE>



Limited Term of Material Agreements

     The Company's  contract with RxCare is scheduled to expire in December 1998
unless  renewed in  accordance  with its  terms.  RxCare's  contracts  with plan
sponsors  typically  have a one-year  term and are subject to automatic  renewal
unless notice of  termination is given.  Those  contracts are subject to earlier
termination  upon the  occurrence of certain  events,  including a breach of the
agreement which is not cured within 30 days of notice, insolvency or termination
of the  TennCare  program or of the plan  sponsor's  contract  with the State of
Tennessee.  There can be no assurance that RxCare's contracts with plan sponsors
or the Company's contract with RxCare will be continued or renewed in accordance
with  their  terms.  The loss of any of such  contracts  could  have a  material
adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.

Capitated Agreements

     A  substantial  portion of the  Company's  revenue  have been  derived from
"capitated" agreements,  through which the Company receives a pre-determined fee
each month for each member  enrolled in a  particular  health plan in return for
providing  certain  covered  pharmacy  services  to plan  members.  The  Company
generally  negotiates  the  capitation  fee for a particular  plan (or subset of
individuals within a plan) based upon a number of factors, including competitive
conditions  within a particular  market and the expected  costs of providing the
covered pharmacy services.  The cost of providing pharmacy services varies among
plan  participants  and  groups  and is  affected  by  many  factors,  including
formulary  design  and  compliance,   generic   substitution  rate  and  payment
structure.  Expected costs are generally based on prior  experience with similar
groups and demographic data based on the population at large.  Data with respect
to  prior  experience  may not be  available  and,  if  available,  may not be a
reliable indicator of the actual results for a particular plan. In addition, the
Company  may be  required  to bear all or a  portion  of the  costs  of  certain
newly-developed  drugs,  such as  medications  for the  treatment  of AIDS,  the
existence  or cost of which may not have been  known at the time the  capitation
fee for a particular  plan was  established.  There can be no assurance that the
cost of providing  pharmacy  services will not exceed the capitation fee, either
per member or per plan, throughout the entire contract term.

Government Regulation

     Various  Federal and state laws and  regulations  affecting the  healthcare
industry  do or  may  impact  the  Company's  current  and  planned  operations,
including,  without limitation,  Federal and state laws prohibiting kickbacks in
government health programs (including TennCare), Federal and state antitrust and
drug distribution laws, and a wide variety of consumer protection, insurance and
other state laws and regulations.  While management believes that the Company is
in substantial compliance with all existing laws and regulations material to the
operation of its business, such laws and regulations are subject to rapid change
and often are uncertain in their application. As controversies continue to arise
in the healthcare industry (for example,  regarding the efforts of plan sponsors
and  pharmacy  benefit  managers  to limit  formularies,  alter drug  choice and
establish  limited  networks  of  participating  pharmacies),  Federal and state
regulation and enforcement  priorities in this area can be expected to increase,
the  impact  of  which on the  Company  cannot  be  predicted.  There  can be no
assurance  that the Company will not be subject to scrutiny or  challenge  under
one or more of these laws or that any such  challenge  would not be  successful.
Any such  challenge,  whether or not successful,  could have a material  adverse
effect  upon  the  Company's  financial  position  and  results  of  operations.
Violation  of the Federal  anti-kickback  statute,  for  example,  may result in
substantial civil and criminal penalties, as well as exclusion from the Medicare
and Medicaid (including TennCare) programs.  Further,  there can be no assurance
that the  Company  will be able to  obtain  or  maintain  any of the  regulatory
approvals that may be required to operate its business, and the failure to do so
could have a material  adverse  effect on the Company's  financial  position and
results of operations.

Control by Management

     The  Company's  directors and executive  officers  beneficially  own in the
aggregate  a  majority  of  the  Company's  Common  Stock.   Accordingly,   they
collectively  are able to  determine  the  outcome of  virtually  all  corporate
actions  requiring  approval by the  stockholders of the Company,  including the
election of directors.


                                        4


<PAGE>



Dependence on Senior Management

     The Company's operations have been substantially  dependent on the services
of John H. Klein (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer),  E. David Corvese (Vice
Chairman and  principal  stockholder  of the  Company)  and Richard H.  Friedman
(Chief Operating  Officer,  Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer).  The loss of
the services of one or more of these  individuals  would have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's  business.  Messrs.  Klein,  Corvese and Friedman each
have  employment  agreements with the Company which restrict the ability of such
officers to compete with the Company and its affiliates for a period of one year
following termination.

Non-Compete Covenant

     In  connection  with his  resignation  from  Zenith  Laboratories,  Inc.  a
manufacturer  and distributor of generic drugs  ("Zenith"),  in January 1996 Mr.
Klein  agreed that he would  provide  consultative  services  to Zenith  through
December 31, 1998 and that, until then, neither he, nor any business in which he
has a direct or indirect interest, will own, manage or be employed or engaged by
any business that is substantially  competitive with any material portion of the
business of Zenith or its subsidiaries as conducted in early 1996. Such covenant
may restrict the  Company's  ability to compete in certain  areas  including its
preferred generics business and any future drug distribution business.

Competition

     The pharmacy benefit  management and generic drug  distribution  businesses
are each highly  competitive,  and many of the  Company's  current and potential
competitors have considerably greater financial,  technical, marketing and other
resources than the Company.  The pharmacy benefit management business includes a
number of large, well capitalized  companies with nationwide operations and many
smaller organizations  typically operating on a local or regional basis. Some of
the larger  organizations are owned by or otherwise related to a brand name drug
manufacturer  and  may  have  significant   influence  on  the  distribution  of
pharmaceuticals.  Numerous  insurance  and Blue  Cross  and Blue  Shield  plans,
managed care  organizations  and retail drug chains also have their own pharmacy
benefit management capabilities.

Professional Liability Risk

     The services  provided by the Company in  connection  with its business may
subject  the  Company to  litigation  and  liability  for  damages.  The Company
believes  that its  insurance  protection  is adequate for its present  business
operations,  but  there can be no  assurance  that the  Company  will be able to
obtain and  maintain  insurance  coverage  in the future or that such  insurance
coverage will be available on  acceptable  terms or adequate to cover any or all
potential  professional   liability,   product  liability  or  other  claims.  A
successful  claim in excess of the  Company's  insurance  coverage  could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations.

Possible Negative Effects of Preferred Stock

     The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, the
designation,  rights  and  preferences  of which  (including  voting,  dividend,
redemption  and  liquidation  rights)  may be  fixed by the  Company's  Board of
Directors  from  time to time  without  further  stockholder  action.  Shares of
Preferred Stock could be issued in the future with rights and  preferences  that
could make the possible  takeover of the Company or the removal of management of
the Company more  difficult or could  otherwise  adversely  impact the rights of
holders of Common Stock.

Possible Volatility of Stock Price

     The market price of the Common Stock has fluctuated substantially in recent
months.  The price of the Common  Stock may be subject  to  fluctuations  in the
future in response to operating  results,  general  market  movements  and other
factors. In addition, the stock market in recent years has experienced price and
volume  fluctuations that often have been unrelated or  disproportionate  to the
operating  performance  of  companies.  These  fluctuations,  as well as general
economic and market  conditions,  may  adversely  affect the market price of the
Common Stock.

                              SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

     The table  attached as Annex I hereto  sets  forth,  as of the date of this
Prospectus or a subsequent date if amended or supplemented, (a) the name of each
Selling  Shareholder and his or her  relationship to the Company during the past
three years;  (b) the number of shares of Common Stock each Selling  Shareholder
beneficially  owns (assuming that all options to acquire shares are  exercisable
within 60 days,  although certain options  actually vest over three years);  (c)
the number of  Securities  offered  pursuant to this  Prospectus by each Selling
Shareholder;  and (d) the amount and percentage of the Common Stock  outstanding
to be held by such Selling Shareholder after giving effect to the Offering.  The
information  contained  in Annex I may be amended or  supplemented  from time to
time.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

     The  Company  will not  receive  any of the  proceeds  from the sale of the
Securities offered hereby.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Sales of the Securities  offered hereby may be made on the NASDAQ  National
Market or the  over-the-counter  market or otherwise at prices and on terms then
prevailing  or at  prices  related  to the  then  current  market  price,  or in
negotiated transactions. The Securities may be sold in (a) block trades in which
the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Securities as agent but
may position and resell a portion of the block as  principal to  facilitate  the
transaction,  (b) transactions in which a broker or dealer acts as principal and
resells the Securities for its account pursuant to this Prospectus, (c) exchange
distributions  in accordance  with the rules of such exchange,  and (d) ordinary
brokerage  transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases.
In effecting sales,  brokers or dealers engaged by the Selling  Shareholders may
arrange for other  brokers or dealers to  participate.  Brokers or dealers  will
receive commissions or discounts from the Selling  Shareholders in amounts to be
negotiated  immediately  prior to sale.  Such  brokers or dealers  and any other
participating  brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters"  within the
meaning of the  Securities  Act in connection  with such sales and any discounts
and  commissions  received by them and any profit realized by them on the resale
of the Securities  may be deemed to be  underwriting  discounts and  commissions
under  the  Securities  Act.  There  is no  assurance  that  any of the  Selling
Shareholders will offer for sale or sell any or all of the Securities covered by
this Prospectus.

                    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     The Company's Amended and Restated  Certificate of Incorporation limits the
liability of the Company's  directors to the Company or its  stockholders to the
fullest extent permitted by the Delaware  General  Corporation Law (the "DGCL").
Specifically,  directors  of the  Company  will  not be  personally  liable  for
monetary damages for breach of a director's  fiduciary duty as a director except
for  liability  (a) for any  breach of the  director's  duty of  loyalty  to the
Company  or its  stockholders,  (b) for acts or  omissions  not in good faith or
which  involve  intentional  misconduct  or a knowing  violation of law, (c) for
unlawful  payment of dividends or unlawful  stock  repurchases or redemptions as
provided  in Section 174 of the DGCL or (d) for any  transaction  from which the
director  derived an improper  personal  benefit.  In  addition,  the  Company's
By-Laws  require the  Company to  indemnify  any  current or former  director or
officer to the fullest extent  permitted by the DGCL. The Company also maintains
insurance  for the benefit of its  directors  and officers and the directors and
officers  of  its  subsidiaries   insuring  such  persons  against  liabilities,
including liabilities under the securities laws.

Item 9. Undertakings.

     A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1) (i) To file,  during any period in which offers or sales are being
     made, a post-effective  amendment to this registration statement to include
     any prospectus  required by Section  10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933
     (the "Securities Act");
              (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  The  foregoing  notwithstanding,  any  increase or
     decrease  in volume of  securities  offered (if the total  dollar  value of
     securities  offered  would not exceed  that which was  registered)  and any
     deviation from the low or high and of the estimated  maximum offering range
     may be  reflected  in the form of  prospectus  filed  with  the  Commission
     pursuant  to Rule  424(b) if, in the  aggregate,  the changes in volume and
     price  represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum  aggregate
     offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration  Fee" table in
     the effective registration statement; and
              (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 purposes of  determining  any  liability  under the
     Securities Act, 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.


                                      II-3


<PAGE>



          (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.

     B. The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  that,  for purposes of
determining  any  liability  under  the  Securities  Act,  each  filing  of  the
registrant's  annual  report  pursuant to Section  13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where  applicable,  each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual  report   pursuant  to  Section  15(d)  of  the  Exchange  Act)  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.

     C. Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be  permitted to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons of the
registrant  pursuant to the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation,  the By-Laws
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  Securities  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 by 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 of 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.

Re:  MIM Corporation -- Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to MIM  Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation (the
"Company"),  in connection  with the  preparation and filing with the Securities
and  Exchange   Commission  of  a  registration   statement  on  Form  S-8  (the
"Registration  Statement") of the Company,  covering 3,496,053 (the "Shares") of
the Common  Stock,  $0.0001 par value per share,  of the  Company,  to be issued
pursuant to the  Company's  1996 Stock  Incentive  Plan,  as  amended,  and 1996
Non-Employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the "Plans").

     In  rendering  the  opinion set forth  herein,  we have  examined  executed
copies,  telecopies or photocopies  of: (1) the  Registration  Statement and the
Plans;  (ii) the  Amended  and  Restated  Certificate  of  Incorporation  of the
Company,  the By-laws of the Company  and exerpts  from the minute  books of the
Company;  (iii) the current forms of Option  Agreements  used in connection with
the  Plans;  and (iv) such  other  records,  documents,  certificates  and other
instruments  as in our judgment are necessary or  appropriate as a basis for the
opinion  expressed  below.  In our examination of such documents we have assumed
the genuineness of all signatures,  the legal capacity of natural  persons,  the
authenticity  of all documents  submitted to us as originals,  the conformity to
original documents of all documents  submitted to us as certified or photostatic
copies,  and the  authenticity of the originals of such copies.  As to any facts
material to this opinion which we did not independently  establish or verify, we
have  relied  upon  statements  and   representations   of  officers  and  other
representatives of the Company.

     Based upon the  foregoing,  and in  reliance  thereon,  and  subject to the
qualifications, assumptions and exceptions heretofore and hereinafter set forth,
we are of the opinion  that upon the issuance of the Shares in  accordance  with
the



<PAGE>



                                      - 2 -


Plans  (and  in  accordance  with  the  terms  of any  written  options,  option
agreements or other  agreements which are issued or entered into pursuant to the
terms and  conditions  of the Plans)  and as  contemplated  by the  Registration
Statement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     We do not express,  or purport to express,  any opinion with respect to the
laws of any  jurisdiction  other than the laws of the State of Connecticut,  the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal securities laws
of the United States of America.

     We hereby  consent  to the  filing  of this  letter  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration  Statement  and  further  consent  to the use of our name  wherever
appearing in the  Registration  Statement and the reoffer  prospectus  dated the
date  hereof  which forms a part  thereof.  In giving  this  consent,  we do not
thereby  admit that we are in the category of persons  whose consent is required
under  Section 7 of the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  or the rules and
regulations  promulgated  thereunder by the Securities and Exchange  Commission.
This  opinion  is given as of the date  hereof  and we assume no  obligation  to
update or supplement  this opinion to reflect any facts or  circumstances  which
may  hereafter  occur or come to our  attention  or any changes in law which may
hereafter occur.



                                                  Very truly yours,

                                                  /s/ FINN DIXON & HERLING LLP




                                                                   Exhibit 23.1



                    CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To MIM Corporation:
